About 16,000 nurses took the all-India exam for 90 posts at Nimhans on Sunday. The test was conducted at 450 centres across the country. However, everything was not smooth as a few questions were doing rounds in social media even before the candidates exited from the exam hall.

Nimhans director Dr B N Gangadhar said a few miscreants had barged into a centre at Jaipur in Rajasthan, clicked the photograph of the question paper and circulated it. “A committee has been set up to look into the matter. We need to do something about it. This is not paper leak and no candidate had access to questions prior to the exam,” he added. Over 450 aspirants appeared for the test at Jaipur centre. While some students want a re-exam, others say they should not be burdened as questions were not leaked before the test. Nimhans has ruled the chances of conducting a retest. “Security seemed to have been compromised at multiple levels. Biometric registration is a must while entering the exam hall, which should further be crosschecked when a candidate is selected for interview, post the written test. No electronic gadget can be allowed inside the centre. However, all such rules have been violated at Jaipur centre,” a candidate alleged.

In June, 2018, 16 candidates with same surname from a single community from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh were recruited.
