COMEDK Engages Cybersecurity Experts to Strengthen Exam Malpractice Prevention Measures
Following malpractice incidents during the 2026 COMEDK-UGET exams at Jamshedpur centres, COMEDK is hiring three cybersecurity experts to recommend stricter measures for the 2027 tests. Changes include increasing question paper sets from four to seven and providing passwords only 20 minutes before exams, down from one hour. An FIR has been filed, with four invigilators turning approvers but later disappearing amid death threats. COMEDK is pursuing legal action and offering support to affected students.
