‘70% match with actual question paper’: In Chhattisgarh, university exam cancelled over ‘leak’
An exam at Indira Gandhi Agricultural University in Chhattisgarh was abruptly cancelled on Thursday after a question paper with nearly 70% of its content matching the actual exam leaked on WhatsApp. The second-year second-semester entomology examination, which was held for around 500 BSc Agriculture students, was conducted between 10 am and 1 pm at 34 colleges across the state.
University authorities have yet to determine if the leak was intentional, and have submitted a complaint to the police to investigate further. The university's registrar, Dr Kapil Dev Deepak, confirmed that the leaked document did not match the official examination paper and that a five-member committee was formed to investigate the matter.
The incident has sparked protests from student wings of opposition parties, with Chhattisgarh Congress spokesperson Vandana Rajput calling it a "direct injustice" to students and demanding a thorough probe into the leak.
