Computer exam at Bhopal college cancelled after question paper theft, FIR registered
RGPV postponed a School of Biotechnology exam in Bhopal after a question paper theft surfaced. The FIR and probe have intensified concerns over exam security and the handling of sealed papers.
An examination at Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) in Bhopal, was abruptly cancelled after reports emerged of question paper theft ahead of the scheduled test.
The incident, which triggered a police complaint and an FIR, has raised serious concerns over exam security at one of Madhya Pradesh’s largest technical universities.
A Computer subject examination for second-year, fourth-semester students of the School of Biotechnology was scheduled to be held on Friday at 11 am. However, just before the exam began, students were informed that the paper had been cancelled.
Soon after, it came to light that the question paper had been stolen, leading to confusion and panic on campus. The university later confirmed the theft and officially postponed the examination until further notice.
NINE SEALED PACKETS MISSING
According to reports, around nine bundles containing different question papers are suspected to be missing. The theft is believed to have taken place late Thursday night, just hours before the scheduled exam.
Following the incident, the university administration lodged a formal complaint at the Gandhinagar Police Station in Bhopal. An FIR has been registered, and a detailed investigation has been launched to identify how the confidential papers were accessed and who is responsible.
Police officials are now probing possible security lapses in the examination handling process and are expected to examine internal protocols related to question paper storage and distribution.
SECURITY UNDER QUESTION
The incident has raised serious questions about the university’s examination confidentiality system. The theft of sealed question papers has triggered concerns over how securely such sensitive academic materials are handled before exams.
Education officials are now expected to review existing security arrangements to prevent similar breaches in future examinations.
POLITICAL REACTIONS AND SPARKED DEBATE
The incident has also drawn political reactions. Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar criticised the state government in a post on X, alleging a broader breakdown in law and order.
He said the theft of question papers reflects a deeper crisis and questioned the safety of students’ academic future under the current administration.
INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY
With an FIR now registered, police in Bhopal have begun investigating the case. Authorities are trying to trace the missing question paper bundles and determine whether the theft involved insiders or external access.
The university has assured students that fresh instructions regarding the rescheduled examination will be issued after the investigation progresses.
