New Delhi: On Thursday, opposition leaders criticized the National Testing Agency (NTA) following the cancellation of the UGC-NET exam, accusing both the agency and the Union government of jeopardizing the future of students who had taken the test.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) cancelled the UGC-NET examination on Wednesday, one day after it was administered, based on inputs from the National Cyber Crime Threat Analytics Unit of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Saket Gokhale expressed that the examination process in the country is in disarray, claiming that students’ lives are being adversely affected. He accused the NTA of complicity in these issues.
“The examination process in our country has collapsed. Paper leaks and irregularities are rampant, and the ineffective NTA is complicit,” Gokhale stated in a post on X.
“Following the NEET debacle, the UGC-NET has now been cancelled just one day after the exam. The lives and futures of our students are being destroyed daily, and the NDA 1.0 government shamelessly refuses to take responsibility,”
