The National Testing Agency (NTA), which has been under scrutiny over the alleged NEET UG paper leak, is now facing fresh criticism over the conduct of the UGC NET June 2026 session. As many as 67 of the 150 questions in the UGC NET English paper were allegedly repeated from an examination held two years ago, reported The Telegraph.
The UGC NET consists of two papers. Paper I is common to all candidates and includes 50 questions on teaching and research aptitude, reasoning and general awareness, while Paper II comprises 100 subject-specific questions. According to the report, all 67 allegedly repeated questions appeared in the English Paper II, with both the questions and their answer options remaining unchanged from the earlier examination.
Grammatical Errors In UGC NET Sociology Exam
The NTA is also facing criticism over the UGC NET Sociology paper conducted on June 30, after several candidates alleged that it contained multiple spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and poorly worded questions.
Candidates claimed that the paper included several glaring typographical errors, with names of noted sociologists and commonly used academic terms printed incorrectly. Among the alleged mistakes were “Ritzer” appearing as “Putzer”, “social” as “oval”, “Parsons” as “Parsow”, “Ghurye” as “Ghunye”, “A R Desai” as “A K Desai”, and “Nussbaum” as “Nusbaut”, reported Orrisa Post.
Some candidates also alleged that the Hindi translation of the questions was inaccurate and difficult to comprehend, adding that they spent considerable time trying to interpret the wording instead of answering the questions. They further claimed that the paper included topics and thinkers they believed were outside the prescribed syllabus and contained questions that appeared unrelated to the objectives of the examination.
The National Testing Agency had not issued any official response to these allegations at the time of reporting.
The UGC NET June 2026 exam was conducted between June 22 and 30 in two shifts each day—from 9 am to noon and from 3 pm to 6 pm.
