The testing agency had declared the UGC-NET June 2026 results for 84 of the 87 subjects on August 28. The re-examination for the remaining three subjects, English, Commerce, and Sociology, was announced after the NTA received several complaints about multiple errors in these papers.

Why Were These Papers Re-Conducted?

Following the complaints, the NTA constituted a committee to examine the reported errors. The committee found that the three papers contained several factual, typographical, and translation errors, including misspelled names of prominent scholars, garbled book titles, errors in the wording of question stems, grammatical errors, gender and number agreement errors, punctuation mistakes, and non-standard coined terms for established concepts.

It also found that a significant number of questions had been repeated from previously administered examinations, prompting the committee to recommend that the three papers be re-conducted to ensure a fair and error-free examination.

How To Check The City Intimation Slip?

Candidates can check their allotted examination city for the re-exam through the official UGC-NET portal using their login credentials. In case of any difficulty in downloading or checking the examination city intimation slip, candidates can contact the NTA helpline at 011-40759000 for assistance.
