Rahul Gandhi NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged fresh irregularities in last week’s UGC-NET examination, claiming that a document linked to the question paper was circulated before the test and matched a large number of questions asked in the Sociology paper.He also accused the Centre of failing to act despite repeated allegations of examination paper leaks.In a post on X, Rahul claimed that a 100-page PDF was circulated before the UGC-NET examination and alleged that it related to question paper setting material available only with the National Testing Agency (NTA). He further alleged that nearly 90 questions in the PDF matched those in the actual Sociology question paper and claimed the paper was being sold for Rs 2.25 lakh in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan.
