The UGC NET Phase IV Exam for Sociology and Computer Science & Applications was conducted on March 11. For Shift 1, the exam was administered without incident across the nation; however, during the second shift, a network issue was reported from the same exam centre.
In the second shift of the UGC NET exam at Brilliance Advance Studios, 233 out of 363 slotted candidates showed up. According to NTA, the test began on time but was interrupted by a network problem that the institute reported at about 16:40 hrs.
Unfortunately, as the network problem escalated, the delay increased and lasted an additional hour and ten minutes. In the interim, the candidates became angry, resorted to violence, and even turned off the centre's main switch, making troubleshooting difficult.
According to the NTA, 156 candidates continued and finished their exam after the network resumed at 17:50 hrs. But, 77 of the current candidates had already departed.
For the 77 candidates who left the exam due to a network error, NTA has now decided to retake it. The candidates' interests have been taken into consideration when making the decision.
It's important to note that the test would only be given to the 77 candidates who had attended the exam's Shift 2 at Brilliance Advance Studios, Centre No. DL0101 on March 11, 2023. No other candidate would be subjected to an examination. Regarding the candidates who stayed and finished their exams, their work would be valid and assessed appropriately.
