The invigilators distributed answer keys instead of the question paper when students of Kerala University appeared for BSc electronics examination on "Signals and Systems" in February. However, no students raised the issue during the exam. Later, the matter came to light when the BSc answer sheets were sent for evaluation.
In a similar incident, the Kannur University postponed the semester exams after it found that it had distributed the previous year question papers.
This is not the first time a goof-up has occurred during exam. There have been reports on paper leaks, impersonation, regressive questions. Recently, The Union ministry of education has written to the Rajasthan education department over a Class 12 political science question paper that reportedly asked questions about "achievements of Congress party".
