Chaos Erupts at Jaipur Exam Centre Over Alleged Cheating Racket
A major controversy erupted at the Prabha Devi Memorial exam centre in Jaipur on 30 June 2026, during the Rajasthan Para Medical Council (RPMC) examination, with candidates alleging a widespread cheating racket. Four individuals were arrested in connection with the incident, according to local authorities.
Delayed Question Papers and Unequal Distribution
Candidates reported that question papers were distributed late to many students, triggering protests inside the examination centre. Social media posts showed students waiting for hours while papers were allegedly distributed first on the ground floor and only later to the fourth floor. Some students were reportedly forced to take exams under tents due to inadequate arrangements.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), user @CptoneP highlighted: "Paper distributed to 4th floor after hours of distribution at the ground floor, students were forced to take exams under tents. Hundreds of irregularities in RPMC paper caused chaos at Prabha Devi Memorial exam centre." Another user, @ripper_dhruvaa, posted: "Breaking: RPMC exam paper leaked in Jaipur, students created ruckus on the examination premises. Another day another paper leak."
Arrests Made and Investigation Underway
Following the protests, police intervened and arrested four individuals allegedly involved in the cheating racket. The identities of the arrested have not been officially released, but authorities confirmed that an investigation is underway to determine the full extent of the irregularities.
The RPMC exam is a crucial test for admission to paramedical courses in Rajasthan. The alleged paper leak and distribution delays have raised serious questions about the integrity of the examination process.
Impact on Candidates and Future Exams
The chaos left hundreds of candidates distressed, with many demanding a re-examination. The incident adds to a growing list of exam-related controversies in India, where paper leaks and malpractices have become a recurring issue. The Rajasthan government has yet to issue an official statement on the matter, but sources indicate that a high-level inquiry has been ordered.
