Identical question paper repeated in NTRUHS super specialty exams

Amaravati: The reported repetition of an identical question paper in MCH Super Specialty examinations conducted by Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) has triggered allegations of serious administrative lapses and raised questions over the integrity of the university’s examination system.

YSRCP Doctors Wing president Dr Ambati Naga Radhakrishna Yadav alleged that questions from January examination of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Paper-II were repeated verbatim in November examination conducted at medical colleges in Visakhapatnam, Guntur and Tirupati.

Describing the incident as a serious failure of examination management, he demanded immediate suspension of all officials and examination personnel prima facie responsible for the lapse, pending a time-bound and independent inquiry.

He said the university must establish how an identical question paper was repeated and identify those responsible for paper setting, scrutiny and approval.

The inquiry should also determine whether established examination procedures were violated through negligence or deliberate actions. Radhakrishna urged the Vice-Chancellor to preserve all examination records and related communications, initiate corrective measures and make the inquiry findings public.
