The recent allegations by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding the UGC-NET Sociology examination lack substantial evidence and appear to be politically motivated. Gandhi's claims that a 100-page PDF, containing nearly 90 questions identical to those in the actual exam, was circulated shortly before the test, and that this document was being sold for ₹2.25 lakh across multiple states, have not been corroborated by any official sources or concrete proof. The NTA has yet to respond to these allegations, which suggests that they may be baseless. Furthermore, the previous NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy was thoroughly investigated, and the CBI filed a closure report, concluding that there was no evidence to support the allegations of a leak. Therefore, it is essential to approach such allegations with caution and rely on verified information before drawing conclusions.
