How Was The Question Paper Leaked?

The question paper was leaked shortly after the first shift began at 11 AM for the PAT exam. Abhishek Kumar, a candidate who was seated in Room Number 37 of the Arts Block at LS College, folded the question paper multiple times and passed it through the window to his friend, Kanchan Kumar. Kanchan took a picture of the question paper and circulated it on the internet before returning it to Abhishek.

However, the university identified the candidate through seating arrangements, roll sheets, and exam records. Following the incident, Vice Chancellor Prof. DC Rai visited the examination centre. An FIR was filed based on a written complaint from the invigilator. The district administration has been informed, and further investigation is underway.
