Nashik : The Maharashtra University of Health Sciences has formulated a new plan to prevent question paper leaks during the upcoming MBBS third year (paper I and II) examinations that kick off on Jan 18. Now, the question papers will no longer be transported by road to the 50 exam centres across the state. Instead, they will be sent to all these exam centres using special software. Moreover, all examinees will have to report to their designated exam centres one hour before the start of the exam.
Earlier, examinees were required to report 30 minutes before the start of the exam. “Two invigilators, assigned by the health sciences university, at each centre would be allowed to download the soft copy of the question papers after verifying their identities using a onetime password (OTP) about 30 minutes before the examination. Thereafter, printouts of the question papers would be generated using high-end printers,” said MUHS authorities.
The new plan has been put in place following question paper leaks during the MBBS examination that had taken place in Dec 2024. The Nashik city police are investigating the issue following a complaint lodged by the varsity. MUHS VC Lt Gen Dr Madhuri Kanitkar (retd) said the varsity has taken up this new system on a pilot basis to ensure that there are no question papers leaks.
