Rajasthan University Cancels Exam After Alleged AI-Generated Paper Contains Answers Instead of Questions

Rajasthan University cancelled a second-semester Sociology examination after students alleged that an AI-generated question paper containing prewritten answers and explanatory text was distributed instead of actual questions. The incident occurred during the Indian Society examination conducted by the university’s PG School of Humanities on June 16, 2026.

According to students, the examination was scheduled from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, but shortly after receiving the question papers, they discovered that the document contained answers and theoretical content rather than questions or multiple-choice options. Following complaints from students, invigilators reportedly collected the papers and informed candidates that the examination had been cancelled.

Student Vikas Kumar Bairwa alleged that authorities immediately withdrew the papers and instructed students not to discuss the matter publicly. He said students were later informed that the examination would be rescheduled for June 27.

The incident prompted protests outside the university administration office, where students sought clarification regarding how the erroneous paper was distributed. Student leaders also expressed concern over reports that artificial intelligence may have been used during the preparation of the examination paper.

NSUI functionary Manish Meghvanshi stated that students noticed serious discrepancies in the question paper before the examination could begin. He said the university administration cancelled the examination after becoming aware of the issue and questioned the growing use of AI in academic processes.

The episode has sparked debate about the role of artificial intelligence in examination preparation and quality control, with students and educators calling for a thorough investigation into how the paper was created and approved before distribution.
