Odisha Medical PG Exam Paper Leak Under Investigation Amid Political CriticismPreviousNext

The Odisha University of Health Sciences is investigating an alleged leak of the postgraduate medical General Surgery exam paper on July 27, reportedly shared via WhatsApp during the test. The leak reportedly originated from MKCG Medical College and Hospital, prompting formation of inquiry committees by both the college and state government. While authorities have not yet decided on exam cancellation or reconduction, political parties including Congress and BJD have criticized the handling of exam security and called for broader reforms amid ongoing national concerns over examination fraud.
