Veer Madho Singh Bhandari Uttarakhand Technical University (VMSB-UTU) in Dehradun cancels two semester BTech examinations following a suspected question paper leak. According to reports, the university inquiry finds that an external question paper setter allegedly shared questions with students before the tests. As a result, the two affected exams are cancelled and re-examinations are scheduled for August 2026.
Multiple outlets describe the university as taking action to protect examination integrity. One report says an assistant professor linked to the case is arrested and is also debarred from examination-related work for seven years, while his employer college terminates his services. Another report focuses on the cancellation decision and the role of an external paper setter confirmed in the inquiry.
Times of India also reports that protests took place on campus after the cancellations, with students demanding accountability from the university administration. The incident is described as part of a wider pattern of examination-related paper scandals in Uttarakhand.
