An MBBS examination conducted at Patna Science College descended into chaos after allegations of cheating sparked unrest inside the examination hall, prompting Aryabhatta Knowledge University (AKU) to initiate a formal review. The exam, attended by students from multiple medical colleges, reportedly saw several candidates found with unauthorised materials, leading to intervention by invigilators. The situation soon escalated into a commotion, making it difficult to maintain order.

Officials stated that supervisory staff briefly stepped out amid the disturbance, although the examination continued until its scheduled conclusion. The college administration has termed the conduct of some examinees as “unruly” and submitted a detailed report to the university. AKU authorities have acknowledged the incident and confirmed that the examination board is currently assessing whether the affected paper should be cancelled. The episode has raised serious concerns about exam discipline, supervision lapses, and enforcement of anti-cheating measures.
