The exam was cancelled after the education ministry received inputs that the integrity of the exam was compromised. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had said the question paper was leaked on the darknet and circulated on the Telegram app. In a shift from the earlier pattern, the exam was conducted in offline mode this time and on a single day.
However, the rescheduled exam will now be conducted according to the earlier pattern of Computer Based Test (CBT) spread across a fortnight. The CSIR UGC-NET , which was postponed as a preemptive measure, will be conducted from July 25 to July 27.
The National Common Entrance Test (NCET) for admission to the four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) in select Central and state universities or institutions, including IITs, NITs, RIEs, and government colleges, which was postponed hours before its schedule on June 12, will now be conducted on July 10.
