Lokesh challenges Jagan to prove Mega DSC paper leak charges
A minister in Andhra Pradesh named Nara Lokesh talked to the state assembly about a big teacher recruitment exam called Mega DSC-2025.
Some people from the opposition party said the exam paper was leaked and that there were other problems.
The minister said those accusations are not true.
He explained that many experts made about 42,000 secret questions for the exam.
The computers used were protected with passwords that changed every day.
Only two special workers were allowed to put the questions onto the exam system.
The minister asked the people making the accusations to show proof of their claims.
He said the exam followed very strict rules to keep everything fair.
The opposition still believes there were problems with the recruitment process.
HRD Minister Nara Lokesh defended the Mega DSC-2025 recruitment process in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly.
He challenged the YSR Congress Party opposition to produce evidence for its allegations of paper leakage and irregularities.
Lokesh rebutted five specific charges, including question paper manipulation, sports quota irregularities, and lack of transparency in merit lists.
He said about 42,000 questions (roughly 3,000 per subject) were prepared by multiple subject experts at SCERT under strict confidentiality.
Only two designated regular SCERT employees uploaded questions to the TCS iON system using encrypted, password-protected systems with daily password changes.
