UGC-NET Retest Cancelled: 'NTA's Glitches and Repeated Exams Ruining Our Future'

"With the centralisation of exams, we have only one option to enroll for PhD, and even that is full of snags."

The retest of the June UGC-NET (University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test) – scheduled for 21 August – was cancelled again for students at a centre in Varanasi. The National Testing Agency (NTA) couldn't conduct the exam due to 'a technical glitch' – and now a new date will be announced for the same.

As a candidate who was set to appear for the exam at Dr Ghanshyam Singh College of Education in Varanasi, the centre where the exam was cancelled, I find it extremely distressing to say the least.

How many more times will we have to appear for the same exam, I wonder.
