In a significant development, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has annulled the UGC-NET June 2024 Examination following potential security breaches. Conducted on June 18, 2024 in OMR (pen and paper) mode, the examination saw participants across various cities in India.

To uphold transparency and fairness, the UGC-NET June 2024 Examination stands cancelled. The Ministry has assured that a fresh examination will be scheduled, with details to be communicated separately. Concurrently, the matter has been escalated to the Central Bureau of Investigation (C.B.I.) for a comprehensive probe into the alleged security lapses.
