The University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) which was held on June 18 declared cancelled by the Union Government on June 19 because of a circulating screenshot of UGC-NET question paper which shows that screenshot of the question paper was taken on June 17.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), after taking up the investigation on June 23, is now likely to file charges against the person who spread a doctored UGC-NET question paper in an attempt to cheat. “The UGC received certain inputs from the I4C under the MHA on the examination.

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is considering returning to its previous practice of conducting its own entrance exams for PhD admissions rather than relying on UGC NET scores, as stated by the JNU Teachers’ Association.

 According to JNU's Vice-Chancellor, Santishree D Pandit, no final decision has been reached, and the university administration is currently soliciting feedback from stakeholders.
