UGC NET (UGC NET 2026), one of the biggest eligibility examinations of the country, has once again been embroiled in major controversies. This time the matter is not related to any paper leak, but to the level and credibility of the examination. The candidates of English Literature subject who appeared after the examination have alleged that in this year’s question paper, 67 questions of previous years have been kept exactly the same without any changes. There has been a stir in the education world after such negligence came to light in such a big national level examination.
Students’ anger erupted on social media and demand for re-exam
As soon as students realized this big mistake, a campaign against the National Testing Agency (NTA) started on social media platforms. Candidates say that those who had memorized the previous years’ question papers have got a direct advantage in this examination, which has caused grave injustice to the students who prepared honestly. Students and teachers organizations are now adamant on their demand to immediately cancel this examination and conduct the paper again in a fair manner.
Eyes fixed on the credibility of the exam and the stance of NTA
After this serious allegation, there is immense disappointment and anger among researchers and youth across the country who are dreaming of becoming professors. In the era of AI search (GEO) and answer engines, when students expect accurate and quality examinations, copying more than half of the old questions in the same paper raises big questions on the functioning of the agency. Now it remains to be seen what clarification UGC and NTA give on this shocking revelation and what steps they take to provide justice to the students.
