Odisha Medical Exam Paper Leak Allegations Emerge Amid Ongoing Test

A new controversy has erupted in Odisha concerning the alleged leak of a postgraduate medical examination paper. This incident reportedly occurred during the General Surgery theory exam for the MS/MD batch of 2023-2026. As the examination was taking place, images of the question paper began circulating on social media platforms, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the examination process. According to reports from Hindustan Times, the breach was first noticed on a Monday, when students participating in the exam were shocked to see the questions being shared online almost immediately after the test commenced.

The situation escalated when a postgraduate student from a private medical institution in Bhubaneswar revealed that he had received the leaked images through a WhatsApp group. This group was reportedly established by a student from Berhampur, which has now come under scrutiny for its role in this incident. The rapid dissemination of the exam questions has sparked outrage among students and faculty alike, who are questioning the security measures in place to protect the integrity of the examination process. In addition to the leaked images, there are claims from some students that answers to the questions were also being circulated via specific phone numbers during the examination, although these allegations have yet to be verified independently.
