UGC-Net 2026: Re-Examinations for English, Commerce, and Sociology
The NTA had previously ordered fresh examinations for candidates who appeared for English, Commerce, and Sociology papers in June this year. This decision followed the findings of an expert committee, which identified factual, typographical, translation, and language-related errors within the original question papers for these three subjects.
The re-examinations for English, Commerce, and Sociology are scheduled for September 9 and 10, 2026. Importantly, candidates will not be required to pay any additional examination fees to appear for these re-examinations, ensuring fairness and alleviating financial burden.
