According to the allegations, a 100-page PDF containing material that matched nearly 90 questions from the UGC-NET Sociology examination was circulated before the June 30, 2026 examination and was reportedly sold across several northern states. The claims have raised serious questions about the security of the examination process and the integrity of one of the country's major eligibility tests.
The National Testing Agency denied that any paper leak occurred before the examination. The agency stated that the disputed material appeared online only days after the examination had been conducted, rejecting allegations that the questions had been circulated in advance.
Students, however, pointed to multiple irregularities in the examination material, including the misspelling of sociologist "Ritzer" as "Putzer" and several poor translations. These issues further fueled concerns among candidates and strengthened demands for an independent review of the examination process.
Rahul Gandhi linked the controversy to previous concerns surrounding the NEET examination, accusing the government of failing to protect the integrity of national examinations. He joined growing demands under the social media campaign #ChhatronKiGoonj, calling for the removal of the Education Minister and the implementation of comprehensive examination reforms.
The latest allegations have added to mounting criticism of the National Testing Agency, with public confidence in the examination body facing renewed challenges. As demands for accountability and systemic reforms grow louder, the controversy has once again placed the credibility of India's national examination framework under intense public and political scrutiny.
