Postponing UGC-NET right decision: Tamil Nadu CM Stalin
In a post on ‘X,’ CM MK Stalin said: “I had written to the Union Education Minister requesting the rescheduling of the UGC NET exams. It is a rightful decision that the exams have now been postponed! It has become a recurring practice for the Union Government to announce major exams on Tamil cultural festival days, only to reschedule them following state intervention. Let us hope that, moving forward, every institution in this country respects its rich diversity and considers the sentiments of all its people when making decisions.”
