IGIMS Exam Scandal Deepens as Leak Allegations, Suppressed Report Raise Serious Questions

Brief By Newsbrief / 4:20 PM on 28 Apr 2026

Patna’s Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) is under intense scrutiny following serious allegations of exam paper leaks and irregularities in MBBS and PG final-year examinations. A high-level inquiry committee has submitted its report to the director, but its contents have not been made public, raising concerns over transparency.

The controversy deepened after the 2nd Professional MBBS Exam 2023(H) was abruptly cancelled, prompting speculation about compromised confidentiality and unfair advantages to select candidates. Sources indicate possible administrative reshuffling within the examination department, suggesting internal lapses.

Further adding to the uncertainty, newly appointed Dean Dr. Neeru Goyal has reportedly declined to assume charge, while officials have remained largely unresponsive to media queries. Despite the probe’s findings, no FIR has been registered so far. The developments have triggered widespread concern over accountability and the integrity of medical education at the institution.
