UGC NET June 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the reconduct of the University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) June 2026 for the English, Commerce and Sociology papers. The NTA conducted the UGC NET June 2026 examination from June 22 to 30, 2026, across 87 subjects, for the award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), eligibility for Assistant Professor, and admission to PhD programmes.
According to the official announcement, the NTA had received several complaints on multiple errors in the three papers. Accordingly, the testing agency formed a committee to enquire into and look into these errors, it said.
As per the committee’s report, “the three papers had many factual, typographical, translation errors including misspelt names of prominent scholars, garbled book titles, errors in the stem wording of questions, grammatical errors, gender and number agreement errors, punctuation mistakes, and non-standard coined terms for established concepts, as well as repetition of a significant number of questions previously administered.”
According to the official document, the committee recommended that, in the interest of holding a fair and error-free examination, these three papers should be re-conducted.
The official notification stated that the English, Commerce and Sociology exams will be re-conducted. The examinations will be conducted as per the given schedule.
- English: September 9, 2026 (Shift 1) 9 am to 12 pm
- Commerce: September 9, 2026 (Shift 2) 3 pm to 6 pm
