Exciting Updates for Upcoming Exams!
The National Testing Agency has just released the new exam dates for some of the most awaited exams. The previously postponed and cancelled University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) July 2024 session, National Common Entrance Test (NCET) 2024, and Joint Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (Joint CSIR-UGC NET) are back on track with their revised schedules.
According to the latest schedule, the NCET 2024 exam is now set for July 10, 2024. Following this, the Joint CSIR-UGC NET will be held from July 25 to July 27, 2024. The UGC NET June 2024 exam is scheduled between August 21, 2024, and September 4, 2024. Originally planned for June, these exams were delayed due to issues like paper leaks and discrepancies that arose after the NEET UG 2024 results were announced on June 4, 2024.
This decision comes in the midst of the NEET UG 2024 grace-marks controversy and paper leak case, along with the cancellation of the UGC NET June 2024 exam following insights from the Home Ministry regarding a possible paper leak. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is actively investigating these cases.
