What happened (exam cancellation after “paper leak” allegations)

Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (Raipur) cancelled a second-year undergraduate entomology examination after allegations that the question paper had leaked before the scheduled exam. Students protested, alleging that question details circulated on social media hours before the exam.

The cancelled paper was described as AENT 221Pest Management in Crops and Stored Grains–I (Rabi Crops)—for second-year undergraduate entomology students.

Reported scale and timeline elements include:

• About 1,500 students from affiliated colleges across Chhattisgarh reportedly appeared for the AENT 221 paper before the cancellation was implemented.

• A student statement reported that an email about the alleged leak reached the university around 8.30 a.m. on the exam day.
