It is unclear, though, if the tests might have been rescheduled due to the compromised process. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told the media that the NET tests were canceled at 3 p.m. on Wednesday after the chairperson from the Home Ministry’s 14C section revealed that some of the exam’s questions had been discovered on the darknet.
No doubt the issue of discrepancies in the administration of admission exams like NEET and NET has brought the ministry a lot of criticism.
