Odisha Medical PG Exam Question Paper Shared on WhatsApp During Test; Probe UnderwayPreviousNext

During the July 27 All Odisha Medical Postgraduate examination, photographs of the General Surgery question paper for the 2023-26 MS MD batch were allegedly shared on WhatsApp while the test was ongoing. The images reportedly originated from MKCG Medical College in Berhampur and were detected at a private college in Bhubaneswar. Officials clarified this was not a pre-exam leak but a breach during the test, prompting an internal inquiry and tightened security for remaining exams. Decisions on exam cancellation or reconduction await inquiry outcomes.
