The Story in Brief
A three-member Odisha government committee began investigating the alleged circulation of a postgraduate medical examination paper from Berhampur’s MKCG Medical College and Hospital, officials said. The panel met senior college officials, spoke with faculty members and examined CCTV footage to trace the paper’s source. It must submit its report within two weeks.
The alleged incident concerns the second theory paper for the 2023-26 batch, held on July 27 under the Odisha University of Health Sciences. The paper was reportedly circulated on social media shortly after the examination began. As many as 154 students took the exam at MKCG. The college has also completed an internal inquiry by speaking to students and others.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that the examination is already proven compromised go beyond the available facts. So do suggestions that the allegation can be dismissed without checking the evidence. The government panel now needs to establish whether the paper truly left the college during the exam, who accessed it and whether students gained an unfair advantage. Its two-week report, backed by CCTV findings and student accounts, should determine the next step.
