Odisha Medical PG Exam Question Paper Shared on WhatsApp During Test; Inquiry LaunchedPreviousNext

During the July 27 postgraduate medical examination in Odisha, photographs of the General Surgery question paper were allegedly shared on WhatsApp while the test was ongoing. The Odisha University of Health Sciences (OUHS) has initiated an internal inquiry and tightened security for remaining exams. Officials clarified this was not a pre-exam leak but involved sharing from inside the exam hall. Some students also claimed answers circulated during the test. The incident has drawn attention amid nationwide concerns over exam integrity following the NEET paper leak, prompting calls for broader education reforms.
