New Delhi, August 17: Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi criticised the Centre after the NTA announced a UGC NET re examination for three subjects.
The NTA will re conduct the Sociology, English and Commerce papers after reporting multiple errors.
Gandhi said students who spent years preparing must now repeat the examination. He accused the government of failing to ensure accountability.
UGC NET Re Exam Dates Announced
The NTA had conducted the UGC NET exams between June 22 and 30. However, it later received complaints about errors in three question papers.
