Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) to determine the eligibility for teaching positions and PhD admissions, this year’s UGC NET was cancelled following reports of NEET UG paper leak surfaced
Delhi University (DU) will not be conducting separate PhD entrance exams like Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh told ANI. He added that the varsity is awaiting guidance from the University Grants Commission (UGC). The UGC had earlier cancelled the NET exam, which is held for admission into PhD programmes.
“We have no plans to hold a separate in-house PhD entrance exam. We will follow whatever UGC suggests. We have not received any communication from the NTA and are awaiting their guidance. We expect the academic session for PhD to be delayed by a month,” Singh told ANI.
Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) to determine the eligibility for teaching positions and PhD admissions, this year’s UGC NET was cancelled following reports of NEET UG paper leak surfaced.
Meanwhile, JNU is considering abandoning the UGC NET exam for PhD admissions and reverting to an in-house entrance test. This year, JNU announced it would accept the National Eligibility Test (NET) scores instead of conducting its entrance test, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
The UGC, in a notification dated March 27, 2024, decided that from the academic session 2024-25, the NET score could be used for PhD admissions in place of entrance tests conducted by various universities and higher education institutions (HEIs).
