Odisha PG Exam Paper Shared on WhatsApp During Test
During a medical exam in Odisha, a picture of the test paper was taken and sent to a WhatsApp group.
The picture was shared while the exam was still happening, not before it started.
Some students said answers were also sent out.
The university says this is not a leak because the paper was shared after it was given to the students.
They are looking into how the picture got out and how to stop it from happening again.
The General Surgery MD/MS question paper was photographed and shared on WhatsApp during the July 27 exam.
Images were reportedly circulated by a student from MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur.
Officials say the sharing happened after the paper was distributed, so it is not a leak.
An internal investigation is underway to find out how the images were captured and transmitted.
The incident follows national concerns over exam integrity after the NEET paper leak.

Quotes
Harekrushna Dalai
Dean-cum-principal of MKCG Medical College and Hospital
“"It is not a question paper leak. Had the question paper come out before the exam and reached the students, we could have termed it a leak. But, in this case, the question paper came out from the exam hall," Dalai said.”
