00:25just a day ago.
00:27This decision comes amidst allegations of a paper leak, causing significant distress
00:34among lakhs of students who appeared for the exam.
00:38The cancellation follows a massive controversy surrounding the NEET medical entrance exam,
00:44which is currently under Supreme Court review.
00:48The Ministry of Education cited inputs from the National Cybercrime Threat Analytics Unit
00:53of the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre, also known as 14C, indicating that the integrity
01:01of the exam had been compromised.
01:04The Ministry stated,
01:05To ensure the highest level of transparency and sanctity of the examination process, the
01:13Ministry of Education, Government of India has decided that the UGC-Net June 2024 examination
01:21be cancelled.
01:23This decision is a significant blow to the candidates who had prepared extensively for
01:28the exam.
01:29The UGC-Net, or University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test, assesses Indian
01:35nationals for eligibility as assistant professor and for junior research fellowship and assistant
01:41professor roles in the universities and colleges.
01:46Typically conducted in computer-based test mode twice annually in June and December,
01:52this year's switch to a pen-and-paper format was already a departure from the norm.
01:58The Ministry has announced that a fresh examination will be conducted and details regarding the
02:04new exam date will be shared separately.
02:07Simultaneously, the matter has been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation
02:13or CBI for a thorough investigation.
02:16This move underscores the gravity of the situation and the commitment to upholding
02:21the integrity of the examination process.
02:26Candidates qualifying for assistant professorship are considered based on their performance
02:31in Paper 1 and Paper 2 of the UGC-Net exam.
02:36Those eligible for junior research fellowship can pursue research or apply for assistant
02:42professorship.
02:43However, the rules for assistant professors vary by university, college, or state government.
02:50The cancellation and subsequent investigation mark a significant development in the examination
02:56process, impacting thousands of aspirants across the country.
03:01For now, students are left in limbo, waiting for further information on the rescheduled
03:07exam and hoping for a swift resolution to the crisis.
