UGC NET 2024 re-exam on September 4 in four states

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a re-examination for the UGC NET 2024, set for September 4. This decision comes after the original exams were cancelled at four test centers due to a combination of technical difficulties and adverse weather conditions, including heavy rain that led to waterlogging. The affected locations include centers in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu, where candidates faced disruptions during the scheduled tests. The NTA has emphasized the importance of candidates downloading their admit cards, which are now available. To access their admit cards, candidates must provide their application number, birthdate, and a security pin. This process is crucial for ensuring that all candidates have the necessary documentation to participate in the re-examination. Candidates are advised that their roll numbers and exam city details will remain unchanged, which is intended to provide consistency and ease of access for those who were previously registered. The NTA has also urged candidates to confirm the address of their exam centers, as well as the date and shift timings, to avoid any last-minute confusion. The re-examination is a significant step in maintaining the integrity of the UGC NET process, especially in light of the earlier cancellations that were partly attributed to rumors of a paper leak. By rescheduling the exams, the NTA aims to ensure that all candidates have a fair opportunity to complete their assessments.
