Question papers of the Telangana Group-III examination, conducted in 2024 for 1,363 vacancies, were found being used as paper plates at a bakery in Rajanna Siricilla district. The hiring process had concluded in 2025.
Photographs of the plates were posted on social media and went viral. Separate photos also showed the papers being used at a tea stall in Ashok Nagar, a coaching hub. The papers bore different question codes, suggesting they were not from a single candidate.
Rules require exam papers to be destroyed or shredded after the test. The incident has raised questions about how bulk question papers are stored and disposed of. It follows a similar incident a month ago when OMR sheets of the Hostel Welfare Officers recruitment exam were found near a highway.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is the second leak-related incident involving Telangana recruitment material in weeks. The Telangana State Public Service Commission, which conducts Group-III exams, follows a confidential printing and storage process. If papers reached a bakery, a breakdown occurred either during transport to the destruction facility or at the disposal site. The commission now faces pressure to audit its entire post-exam chain. The next step will be the state government's response, possibly a show-cause notice to the commission or a police probe into the disposal contractor.
