Rahul Gandhi seeks accountability over UGC-NET exam cancellation by NTA
NTA makes the mistake but the student serves the sentence, Mr. Gandhi said.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the Modi government's handling of the UGC-NET re-exam cancellation on Monday. He accused the National Testing Agency (NTA) of leadership failures and demanded accountability. Gandhi highlighted that the UGC-NET exams for Sociology, English, and Commerce took place between June 22 and 30, but were cancelled two months later due to faulty papers and repeated questions.
He emphasized that thousands of candidates who prepared extensively must now retake the exams in September, adding to their burden. Gandhi reiterated his stance that this is not an education system but an "extraction machine" that takes students' money, years, mental health, and confidence without delivering results. He called for NTA's leadership to be held accountable, alongside Prime Minister Modi, who he believes is responsible for the flawed system.
