RRB JE CBT 2 paper leak: After allegations of the erroneous selection process for the second stage recruitment exam for the post of a Junior Engineer (JE) under the Indian Railways, now the question paper for the CBT stage 2 have gone viral online in an alleged leak. Screenshots of an exam claiming to be RRB JE CBT 2 question paper has been doing rounds on the internet. The pictures seem to be clicked with the help of a mobile phone, however, any electronic items are banned inside the exam hall.
The RRB is, however, refuting JE paper leak allegations. A senior official said the shots are taken from the same computer. “A candidate must have smuggled a mobile phone and taken shots of the screen. But there is no leak,” he said. The officer told the indianexpress.com that multiple shots of the questions are shared on social media are all taken from the same computer. “The Mumbai division has already filed an FIR,” said the Railway official.

A PDF consisting of all questions asked in the JE exam are also doing rounds on the internet. This, however, is not clear, as of when the PDF was released. “These are the questions that aspirants must have told some coaching institute, once the exam got over. There are a lot of spelling and other mistakes. RRB JE is anyways a computer-based test and hence, no questions papers are handed over to the aspirants,” said Railway official.
Candidates who have appeared in the CBT-2 have taken to Twitter and are requesting the RRB to cancel the exam and reconduct the same.
