Following this ethical hacker tried to hack the question server which was found to be vulnerable to hacking.
Following this the cyber crime wing of the police was informed.
The distribution of the online question papers to colleges for supplementary examinations for Bed, MCA, and MBA was suspended after the cyber crime department confirmed that the server was not secure.
