NTA to reconduct English, Commerce and Sociology papers
NTA is scheduled to conduct UGC NET exams again for English, Commerce and Sociology after “multiple errors” in the papers. The English and Commerce papers will be held on September 9 and Sociology paper on September 10. NTA said that the Committee found that 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.
The three subject papers such as English. Commerce and Sociology were placed under scrutiny after candidates raised various concerns over the quality of the question papers. The English paper had allegations of extensive repetition, with candidates claiming that 67 of the 150 questions were repeated from the 2024 examination.
Likewise, in the Sociology paper, several complaints were found over spelling mistakes, incorrect names of scholars and terms, grammatical errors and problems in some Hindi translations. Several commerce students also raised concerns about the question paper, prompting NTA to include the subject in the committee’s review. The agency has not yet disclosed the specific findings or recommendations concerning Commerce paper.
