UGC NET December 2024 exam schedule: DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has appealed to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to reschedule the UGC NET exams slated for January 15-16, 2025. These dates clash with Pongal, a major harvest festival in Tamil Nadu. Kanimozhi criticized the NTA’s scheduling, citing insensitivity to Tamil cultural traditions and highlighting the disruption it would cause for students celebrating Pongal.
