NTA to re-conduct UGC-NET for English, Commerce, Sociology in September

The National Testing Agency (NTA) will re-conduct the UGC-NET June 2026 examinations for English, Commerce, and Sociology in September after a committee found multiple errors in the question papers. The agency announced the decision on August 16. The English and Commerce re-tests are scheduled for September 9 in separate shifts, and the Sociology re-test on September 10. Candidates will not have to pay any additional fee.

According to the NTA notice, complaints included repeated questions from earlier exams, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors. The committee found that the issues could not be fixed by simply dropping questions during the answer-key challenge process. The re-test will not delay results for the other 84 subjects, the agency said. Candidates are advised to check the official NTA website for admit card and centre details.
