As per a media report in TOI, On June 5, some tweets came to AIIMS' notice about leakage of question papers. "On the basis of an initial report to the Union Ministry of Health, a complaint was filed with the CBI", officials said.   

An official said they received a written complaint dated June 6 from Dr Naval K Vikram, associate dean (Exams).   

The complainant said, “Screenshots of a candidate console appearing were getting viral on social media, and all received screenshots have been checked. Based on screenshots analysis, the candidate console refers to a candidate which had applied online application form for NORCET-4 Recruitment Examination. On behalf of the competent authority of AIIMS, I request you to make an investigation into this matter,” reports the Indian Express.

The Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET-4) was conducted for the appointment of nursing officers to all the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and four other Delhi hospitals.

Screenshots of the question papers surfaced on social media on the day of the examination, triggering speculation of the paper leak, they said.

The analysis of screenshots showed the console of a candidate who was allocated the centre at Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology, they said.
