Overview
- The university discovered on Friday that nine sealed envelopes of fourth‑semester question papers were missing from the University Teaching Department and cancelled the 11 a.m. exam.
- Gandhinagar police registered an FIR and opened a probe while the vice‑chancellor issued show‑cause notices to exam officials and set up an internal inquiry committee.
- Preliminary checks by investigators found a broken bathroom window, an opened cupboard where papers were stored, and no CCTV inside the storage area, raising questions about security and possible insider access.
- Around 200 students were left stranded by the last‑minute cancellation and staged protests outside the vice‑chancellor’s office while student groups and opposition figures demanded accountability.
- The university says exams will be rescheduled only after police and administrative enquiries conclude and officials review storage, access and surveillance protocols that govern confidential question papers.
