UGC NET & NEET UG 2024

Exam postponement occurs in the context of the UGC-NET and NEET-UG paper leaks, which caused the former to be cancelled. On Thursday, June 20, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan revealed the rationale for the UGC-NET cancellation. He said that the exam was called off after it was discovered that the question paper had been leaked on the darknet. A hidden portion of the internet that is inaccessible to search engines is known as the "dark web," or "darknet." The majority of users on the dark web are anonymous and untraceable, and they frequently transact with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
