68 questions of the burnt paper matched with NEET Question Paper 2024

After its investigation, the Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of the Bihar government has told the central government that the paper has been leaked. The EOU has matched 68 questions from the burnt copies recovered with the original NEET question paper. Both the questions and the serial numbers of the question paper are found to be identical.

The Bihar government claims that the NEET UG exam paper was leaked. The EOU report is behind this claim. According to the report, the EOU has recovered 68 questions from the burnt copies, which exactly match the original question paper. Not only this, the serial numbers of these questions are also the same as the original paper. This report was submitted to the Ministry of Education, after which the ministry decided to hand over the investigation of the case to the CBI.

Though the burnt copies were found on May 5 itself, when the suspected candidates were arrested, sources said the information was not initially shared by the NTA with the state government. The agency showed reluctance to share the NEET paper. This led to a delay in the matching of the papers by the EOU.

Evidence of NEET paper leak

A unique code of the exam centre was also found on a piece of paper in one of the burnt answer sheets recovered from the house of the arrested candidates by the Bihar Police. The EOU report states that the code belongs to Oasis School, a CBSE school located in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand. This was also a NEET exam centre designated by the NTA.

Sources said that when the team visited the school and picked up all the envelopes and boxes in which the question papers came, it was noticed that one envelope was cut from the other end. All tamper-proof envelopes carrying the question papers are always opened by tearing or cutting from a designated highlighted area. All exam staff receive training for this. But one envelope, in particular, was opened at the wrong end. Oasis School principal Ehsanul Haque said the paper might have been leaked ‘much before’ the packets reached the school.
