An alleged leak of a nursing officer recruitment exam conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on June 3 has now come to the fore after several students claimed that they received screenshots and photos of more than 20 questions, which were a part of the question paper, although phones were not allowed inside centres.
The aspirants also alleged that a photograph showed someone taking the exam at home. According to police sources, AIIMS has formed an internal committee to probe the matter. Sources added that AIIMS has not sent a complaint to police so far.
On June 3, AIIMS had conducted the Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET-4) in various cities for the appointment of 3,055 nursing officers at 19 AIIMS and central government hospitals across the country.
Later, some candidates who had appeared for the exam alleged that they received photos and screenshots of several questions from the paper and some answer sheets.
Speaking to The Indian Express, on condition of anonymity, a candidate from Jaipur said, “On Monday evening, we received several screenshots and photos on various WhatsApp groups showing question papers and answer sheets. Some photos also showed someone taking the exam at home. While phones were not allowed inside the centres, how could photos of question papers and answer sheets be taken and circulated?”
“We received screenshots of 20 optional questions. The same questions were asked in the exam. I have complained about this to AIIMS director Dr M Srinivas and the sub-dean (examination) through an email,” the candidate added.
Meanwhile, the AIIMS administration refused to comment on the matter until the investigation is over. An official source at AIIMS said the matter will be investigated. “The CCTV cameras installed at the examination centres will also be scanned,” he added.
