Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Tuesday cancelled a state-level medical and dental entrance examination after a leak of question papers last month. Telangana’s crime investigation department (CID), which began a probe last month blamed a Delhi-based racket for leaking the exam papers. Telangana conducted Eamcet-2 on 9 July following ambiguity over seat quota allotment for national eligibility cum entrance test (NEET). Two sets of medical exam question papers of Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (Eamcet) were found to be leaked to students who paid Rs.30-40 lakh to brokers.
