UGC NET Result 2024: Only 6.84 Lakh Candidates Appear for Re-Test, 2.24 Lakh Less Than June Exam
The UGC NET (University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test) re-test for 2024 witnessed a significantly lower turnout compared to the June examination, with only 6.84 lakh candidates sitting for the test. This marks a decline of 2.24 lakh candidates, as compared to the 9.08 lakh who appeared for the June 2024 session.
Drop in Re-Test Participation
The re-test was conducted following discrepancies and issues during the June examination, which led the National Testing Agency (NTA) to offer candidates another chance to take the test. However, the reduced number of participants in the re-test has raised concerns about the future direction of UGC NET and its appeal to aspirants.
Out of the 9.08 lakh candidates who originally took the exam in June, only 6.84 lakh opted to take the re-test, reflecting a drop of about 24.7%. This drop could be attributed to various factors, including the inconvenience of retaking the exam, scheduling conflicts, or candidates’ confidence in their initial results.
Implications for Cut-Offs and Results
With fewer candidates appearing for the re-test, experts predict that this could have an impact on the cut-off marks and merit lists. The decreased competition may result in lower cut-offs, particularly in subjects where participation has drastically dropped. However, this remains speculative until the official results and cut-offs are declared by the NTA.
Possible Reasons for Low Turnout
Several reasons may have contributed to the reduced number of test-takers in the re-test:
Fatigue: Many candidates might have found it mentally and physically exhausting to prepare for and retake the exam within a short time frame.
Trust in Initial Attempt: Some candidates may have been confident in their performance in the June session and therefore chose not to participate in the re-test.
Logistical Issues: The sudden announcement of the re-test could have caused scheduling issues for some candidates, especially for those involved in other competitive exams or professional obligations.
