UGC-NET, ICAR, CSIR aspirants await NTA answer keys amid silence

UGC-NET, ICAR, CSIR aspirants await NTA answer keys amid silence
No answer key, only a ‘thank you for your patience’: UGC-NET, ICAR, CSIR aspirants await NTA response · indianexpress.com

Many students in India take big tests to become professors or research scholars.

After each test, students wait for an 'answer key' that shows the correct answers.

This helps them guess their scores and plan their next steps.

After the UGC NET test in June, the answer key usually comes within a couple of weeks.

But this year it has not come for a very long time.

Students have called and emailed the testing agency, but they only get a thank you for their patience.

Some students worry they might miss a whole year of school because of the delay.

Answer keys for other tests, like ICAR and CSIR, are also late.

The testing agency is changing how it works and let go of 47 workers.

Many students hope they hear some news soon.
