  "account": "The National Testing Agency has announced the results of the UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) for 84 subjects, with over 4,000 candidates qualifying for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF). Out of the 6.07 lakh candidates who appeared for the exam, more than 97,000 have qualified for PhD admissions. The NET, conducted by the NTA, determines eligibility for assistant professor positions and JRF awards in Indian universities and colleges. The examination was held in June, with the answer key released in August. After discovering errors in the question papers, particularly for Sociology, Commerce, and English papers, the NTA rescheduled the exam for September 9 and 10. Candidates will not be charged an additional fee for the re-examination.",
  "summary": "The testing agency had also issued a special notice concerning the Sociology, Commerce and English papers after an expert committee found factual, typographical, translation and language-related errors in the question papers.",
