- UGC NET Cancellation: The June exam was canceled due to integrity concerns, prompting a return to a computer-based testing (CBT) format for the re-test.
- Hybrid Exam Method: The hybrid (online and offline) format was dropped after the initial test, reverting to traditional CBT conducted over multiple days and shifts.
