# ABVP, students protest UGC-NET re-exam, demand NTA accountability 2026-08-17T16:24:17+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Monday demanded that the National Testing Agency (NTA) be held accountable for factual, typographical, translation and language errors in UGC-NET question papers. The ABVP, the student wing of the RSS, said such errors in a national-level exam raise questions over the quality and credibility of the process. It asked the NTA to explain how the errors occurred and why they were not detected during preparation and review. The NTA on Sunday announced a retest for three papers, English, Commerce and Sociology, held in June, citing errors and question repetition. The English and Commerce retests are set for September 9, and Sociology on September 10. The ABVP said students should not bear the cost of repeated exams in time, money and academic plans. It demanded proper centre allocation and travel arrangements for the re-examination. Separately, around 100 students protested outside the NTA office in Okhla, Delhi. Hindustan Times reports that the ABVP warned of raising issues across the country if concerns are not addressed. The Times of India adds that protesters, including online educators, alleged the sociology paper was leaked but English and Commerce papers were fine. They demanded the NTA be scrapped and re-exams postponed. A scuffle broke out with police, a senior officer said protesters were moved away but no one was detained. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
