In the past three days, the NEET-PG entrance exam has become the third competitive test to either be cancelled or postponed. Earlier, on Thursday, the education ministry announced the cancellation of the UGC-NET examination. This examination determines eligibility for assistant professors, junior research fellowship, and admission to PhD courses in Indian universities and colleges. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan cited a paper leak on the darknet as the reason for the cancellation.
On Friday, the CSIR UGC-NET examination was postponed by the National Testing Agency due to 'unavoidable circumstances' and 'logistical issues'. “There was no leak in CSIR-UGC NET, it was postponed because of logistic issues. There is also a retest of 1,563 NEET candidates tomorrow. For smooth conduct of the exam everywhere, the decision was taken,” Pradhan said on Saturday.
