The disruption and subsequent suspension of Eduquity may affect its business reputation and future contracts with the NTA, though Eduquity is a private company with limited public market exposure. The event adds to regulatory and operational concerns for the NTA, potentially influencing government oversight and public trust in examination processes.
On August 22, 2026, the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) was disrupted at Satya Sai PG College in Jaipur due to a power failure, leaving 49 of 192 candidates unable to complete the computer-based exam. The India — National Testing Agency (NTA) attributed the failure to Eduquity Career Technologies, the exam-conducting agency, and announced a re-examination for the affected candidates on September 1 at Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women. The NTA subsequently issued a show-cause notice to Eduquity and suspended its empanelment pending resolution. Candidates alleged copying during the outage, and the incident adds to scrutiny over the NTA's handling of exams, following recent cancellations of UGC-NET tests.
