It must be noted that UGC NET 2020 papers that were to be held on October 7, 21, 22, and 23 have been deferred all over the nation. This has been done due to the occasion of Durga Puja in the state of West Bengal. After NTA had declared the UGC NET schedule on September 19, 2020, Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee, has raised the issue of a date clash with the biggest festival of the state. The education minister of the state, Partha Chatterjee wrote to NTA for postponement of the exam.
With many other requests to postpone the exams owing to Durga Puja, the paper to be held on October 7, 2020, will be now held on November 11, 2020. The papers scheduled on October 21, 22 and 23, will be taking place on November 12, 4, and 13 respectively.
The papers that have been deferred are for Sociology, Computer Science and Applications, Education, Geography, and Hindi.
