In what apparently seems to be a case of paper leak, 14 of the 100 questions for the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT), conducted yesterday for short service commission in the Indian Air Force, allegedly appeared on the Internet at least 25 minutes prior to the commencement of the first shift of the test at 9 am. The Indian Air Force has ordered a probe into the incident.

A BTech student from Jalandhar, who appeared for the test in Amritsar, said he was checking the answer key for the paper last night when he stumbled upon a website that showed conversation among candidates leaking and discussing the paper online at 8.35 am yesterday, while the exam was to start at 9 am. 

“I was shocked to see those questions in both sets. Later, I decided to highlight the matter in the media,” said the candidate’s father pleading anonymity.

Three-mark questions were repeated in a different order for the afternoon paper starting at 1 pm, which gave candidates four hours and 25 minutes to prepare. Around 7 lakh students took the test across the country for getting entry into flying, technical and ground duty branches.
