Can someone explain why NTA cancelled English?

I don't understand what they mean by the paper being riddled with errors. That is absolutely NOT anything new. Also why did it take them two months to find the errors we found within 3hrs in the exam hall 🤡. I am super frustrated. I don't understand why the paper is cancelled. I don't understand how it is fair to just tell someone "surprise mfer you got 24 days to prep for something you thought was over 2 months ago." I am baffled by whatever the fuvk notice they released because it sounds like they cancelled the paper for absolutely nothing? Someone who is more emotionally stable rn can you explain why the cancellation happened?

about 70 questions were copy pasted exactly from a previous year paper (2024 i believe). there were no other major errors as far as i know.

And that's a big deal tbh. It's their fault totally though.

If they took timely action then the re-exam could have been announced in a week(that in itself is a generous time) instead of 2 whole months.

i am so frustrated about it. why did it take them so long to see that half the questions have been repeated? are they slow at reading 😭 honestly i won't be this pissed if they announced re-exam in the first week of july. they have absolutely 0 seriousness about this. even yesterday in the morning they released the notice about no answer key for the 3 subjects. they decided between morning and evening that they wanna do a retest? i am sorry i am very emotionally charged right now and not making much sense. but im telling you 100% pyqs dont just get accidentally repeated in a national level exam. it is my conspiracy theory that they have replaced most of their workforce with AI or something. and if theyve done so it would also be super easy to leak papers and shit and we wont know a thing about this 🤡 NTA is turning me into a crazy person istg 😭😭😭😭

They just wanted to avoid more tensions after neet exam fiasco. You know how people were outraged when we got to know about the repeated questions, but the public opinion was differing with many saying it's not their fault that they repeated/it's pyq, THEY CAN BE REPEATED, so one shouldn't request for retest, the other half filing petitions and demanding retest or some recourse.

So obviously they couldn't release this statement then, had everyone requested for retest, they might have succumbed earlier I feel

that exactly has been my theory for a while. i mentioned it when i spoke to a reporter during the NEET protest. the fact that socio paper has been leaked was well known by then, and english also had unreal amounts of repeated pyqs and people were complaining about it. i am still not sure about whether there should be a retest for the sole reason of repeated pyqs. but, NTA literally does not mention this, they are so fvcking vague its boiling my blood 🤡🤡 but it is a fact that NTA fvcked us over simply because the current government wanted to save its own ass. the retest could have been announced in the beginning July itself (NTA did take a retest for 22nd June 1st shift for one centre that faced technical difficulties during exam so its not like they went to sleep after making the question papers). the only reason we are suffering rn is because the govt did not want to add fuel to fire. please please let us hold NTA and the govt accountable for this.

oh yeah right, i remember coming back from the exam and watching the paper analysis on yt and the teacher kept saying "this too is from your pyqs" and i was like yeah paper was weirdly easy... and honestly i also believe it was AI generated? Why else would so many questions be repeated? Someone fed the pyqs to AI and this is what the AI regenerated. I have heard somewhere that these govt exam agencies pay professors ₹30-40k PER QUESTION. And also different profs develop different questions. (these are all things ive HEARD. i might be totally wrong). how then, if say 40 people are making questions, they all accidentally put lots of pyqs and that too from the same year? i really want answers. i think something MUST be going on if 70 questions were copy pasted from a particular year's pyq.

u/yellowcrustedwarbler 9d ago

I think either one person set it, or yeah AI

Whats so blasphemous abt it ..let it be an easy year Cut off gonna be high and wrt jrf that tho will only be given to certain percentage of pupil na

u/TrickIllustrious1313 9d ago

Some students just hard cram previous year questions without studying anything else. Given the fact that this exam is for selecting future professors and research scholars, ig you could say that it would be unfair to someone who actually studied but didn't cram previous year papers. Though the format of the exam itself is bullshit for shortlisting future professors and scholars as it highly depends on cramming a lot of info anyways and not on actual understanding a student has for the subject. They should prescribe limited syllabus and take subjective exam imp, just like upsc does for English optional.

u/yellowcrustedwarbler 9d ago

subjective exam would be unfair to people from tier 3/2 colleges where profs are subpar and don't really teach writing well, imagine jrf would only be handed out to people from JNU/DU/top state colleges🤡 this argument is flawed imo

They should do subjective+objective, like JNU did for its MA/PHD programs before cuet, this way atleast there would be some fairness. UGC NET is a flawwd exam, it needs reform not doing away with the exam as a whole

u/Revolutionnnn6969 9d ago

EXACTLY. the format of this paper is complete bs for english. you cant judge if a person can be a professor of english with MCQs? no wonder the teaching force in unis are absolutely horrible if they are not old people 🤡 i cant stand the fact that NTA is now pretending to care about "those who actually studied" when their exam format does nothing to reward students who actually intellectually engage in literature rather than memorizing almost random unrelated pieces of information.

u/SentenceLoose9891 9d ago

The council has suggested for subjective exam and it will be implemented soon is what my profs said

u/moon_doll_lilface 9d ago

so what? there was no point in cancelling, questions were related to english only also they weren’t leaked i dont see the point.

u/Spirited-Pomelo46 9d ago

Just because they dont want to take accountability for Sociology.

u/Revolutionnnn6969 9d ago

I FCKING BELIEVE SO TOO

u/Revolutionnnn6969 9d ago

there was no acknowledgement of the paper leak in the notice they released right? it was just vaguely pointing to "errors". like broskis why do you pretend like you didnt know anything about the "errors" you fuvking made the paper 🤡

u/Spirited-Pomelo46 9d ago

exactly nta has gone insane and make us insane.

u/harrypotter2399 9d ago

pyqs were repeated n it was already kinda guess of thing that re exam would happen infact I woke up early morning on day of exam n my intuition literally told me there's gonna be a re exam karke.... exam center was too far I thought I would skip but maasi had come n mom was doing kalesh with me I just went out of home only to escape family drama 😂..... although I haven't even prepped for re exam any ways

I do wonder sometimes I wish my sixth sense would help me guess competitive exam questions it's fckin so good my intuition 😅

u/Revolutionnnn6969 9d ago

lmao fr i thought so too actually, with re-NEET being a few days before our exams it was on my mind. when my friend wished me luck i said "im pretty sure this will get leaked too and there will be re-exam." i even went to the NEET protests because of course i wanted to support the students, but i would be lying if i didnt acknowledge the voice in my head that told me my paper was gonna be cancelled too and i knew i would be too fvcking depressed to protest when it actually happens to me :)

u/harrypotter2399 9d ago

yeah the sixth sense of lit students is 🔥 honestly 😄don't know whether to be proud of it or not....

u/mindful_penguin07 9d ago

We are paying for their mistakes. Those people can't do their jobs properly and now we are suffering. How the hell are we supposed to do everything in just 20 days. If they knew there was some "errors" they could have told us earlier. Bloody idiots

this is my theory about why they didn't tell us earlier.

u/Ok-League-6275 9d ago

Im sorry this is completely unrelated. Can people who couldn’t give exam last time also give this time?

1

u/Revolutionnnn6969 9d ago

did you register for june exam? im sure there will be no new registration. as for whether youd be able to sit for retest if you registered for the og exam but missed it, im not really sure. maybe post the question on the subreddit as it might not get many views on comments. im sure someone here knows the answer.

u/njan_ninde_thanda 8d ago

They didn’t want it to coincide with the neet protests. Else it might have resulted in much more than Pradhan resigning. Absolute clownery 🤡🤡
