PGI nursing exam cancelled over cheating racket, STF probes
The Story in Brief
Amar Ujala reports that the nursing and hospital attendant recruitment exam at Lucknow's SGPGI was cancelled on Sunday, 1 November, after a plot to breach the exam was uncovered. People linked to the testing company allegedly took contracts to pass candidates, collecting hefty sums. When authorities tightened vigilance, the server was manipulated to fail biometric verification, the source states.
The Special Task Force is investigating. The hospital administration has also increased security. No new date for the exam has been announced by the institute.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two sources cover entirely separate events: Bhaskar reports routine Railway recruitment exams beginning Tuesday, while Amar Ujala reports the cancellation of a PGIMER nursing exam after an alleged cheating racket. Both appear as neutral wire-style reports. Bhaskar's piece is a procedural notification, Amar Ujala's is a crime-and-investigation story with leak details. The shared ground is government recruitment, the divergent coverage highlights the contrast between a standard process and one disrupted by a scam. The key figure to watch is the SFIO investigation outcome named by Amar Ujala.
