In the previous cycle, the UGC NET June 2024 registration deadline was extended multiple times. Initially set to close on May 10, it was first extended to May 15, and subsequently to May 19, 2024. The fee payment deadline was also moved to May 20, 2024. Candidates were allowed to make corrections in their application forms from May 21 to May 23, 2024.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has uncovered that the evidence used to justify the cancellation of the UGC-NET exam held on June 19, 2024, was doctored. A screenshot of the question paper had circulated on Telegram, appearing to show a leak before the exam.
However, the CBI’s investigation revealed that the image was actually shared after the exam’s first session and was manipulated to seem like it was posted earlier. This misleading evidence led the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) to alert the UGC, resulting in the exam’s cancellation.
