The National Testing Agency (NTA) has advised candidates taking the UGC-NET re-exam in Delhi on 9 and 10 September to travel early because of traffic restrictions for the BRICS summit. India hosts the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit at Bharat Mandapam on 12 and 13 September. Delhi Police issued an advisory on Tuesday, 8 September, warning of temporary traffic diversions from 11 to 13 September for international dignitary movement.
The NTA said exam centres are not in areas expected to face major restrictions, but candidates may encounter congestion on some routes because of security arrangements. It urged candidates to plan their journey in advance. The retest covers three papers, English and Commerce on 9 September, and Sociology on 10 September, following complaints of errors in the June 2026 UGC-NET examination.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Nearly 11,000 candidates sitting the UGC-NET re-exam in Delhi on 9 and 10 September must factor in BRICS summit traffic curbs that start the next day, 11 September. The NTA’s own advisory acknowledges the centres are not in the directly restricted zone yet warns of congestion on approach routes. The real operational test is whether candidates reach exam halls on time despite diversions that Delhi Police will enforce for three days after the exam ends. Candidates have only the NTA’s general advice to plan ahead, no specific alternative routes or dedicated exam corridors have been announced.
