Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday criticised the government and the National Testing Agency (NTA) after three UGC-NET June 2026 papers were cancelled and rescheduled for September. The English, Commerce and Sociology papers, conducted between June 22 and 30, will be held again after the NTA identified multiple errors, including factual, typographical and translation mistakes, along with questions repeated from previous examinations. Gandhi said students were being made to pay for mistakes committed by the examination body. In a post on X, he questioned why thousands of candidates who had spent months preparing should have to appear again because of NTA errors. He also directly questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue. (PC: India Today)
