  "summary": "The Centre has informed the Delhi High Court that the UGC-NET June 2026 examination will be re-conducted in September following complaints of errors in the questionnaires for three subjects, including Sociology. The National Testing Agency (NTA) had conducted the examination from June 22 to 30 across 87 subjects for award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), eligibility for assistant professor, and admission to PhD programmes. The Sociology paper, which was the subject of a complaint regarding alleged paper leak, will be held on September 10, while the English and Commerce papers will be held on September 9. The Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta made this statement at the outset of the hearing on a petition filed by a candidate seeking a stay on the declaration of results pending an independent probe and re-conduct of the examination.",
