Officials involved in the probe stated that investigators recovered a document containing more than 400 questions that had allegedly been circulated days before the exam. Out of these, over 100 questions from Biology and Chemistry were said to bear “striking similarities” to those that eventually appeared in the examination.
As per reports, authorities have described the material as resembling a “guess paper” or coaching-style test series, though investigators have not ruled out the possibility of a larger organised network.
