India's medical regulator orders inquiry into Bihar MBBS exam leak

The National Medical Commission has sought a state-led inquiry into allegations of a leak in the December 2025 second-semester supplementary MBBS exam at Bihar's Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences. The exam was already cancelled by the institute after an internal panel found irregularities. The move follows a complaint by social activist Vikash Chandra, who alleged a large-scale scam involving college staff. This comes amid nationwide protests over exam leaks, including the NEET-UG scandal that led to the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
