It includes nine lakh students.’ After this, the hearing said that UGC-NET was conducted on June 2024. The union canceled the exam on June 19, resulting in a new exam on August 21.

The exam was canceled due to some problem
Let us tell you that the Ministry of Education canceled the UGC-NET June 2024 examination held in various cities of the country on June 18, 2024. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted the examination in OMR (pen and paper) mode in two shifts. On June 19, 2024, the University Grants Commission (UGC) received some inputs from the National Cyber Crime Threat Analytics Unit (NCTAU) of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center of the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding the examination. These inputs prima facie indicated that there was a disturbance in the conducted examination.
