NEW DELHI:

The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted the exam across 5,453 examination centres in 548 cities in India and at 14 international locations.

Held in a single shift from 2 pm to 5 pm, the pen-and-paper exam required 20.8 million candidates to attempt 180 compulsory questions from physics, chemistry, and biology.

NTA had put in place strict monitoring and checks at the test centres following last year's cancellation of the University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) over integrity concerns. Two other exams—CSIR-UGC NET and NEET-PG—were also scrapped pre-emptively.
