Question paper surfaces on social media but authorities rule out paper leak

A question paper from an exam for recruiting government teachers surfaced on social media Thursday, creating a flutter among the aspirants.

But the district administration denied that this amounted to a leak as the test was about to end when the paper was uploaded on social media.

The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) sought a report from the district administration after the Hindi paper was seen on social media.

Barmer district collector Shivprasad Nakate said the report has been submitted.

"The paper was scheduled from 9 am to 11.30 am. The administration received information about the paper is available on social media at 11.16 am. So it cannot be considered a case of a paper leak," he said.
