The CBI on Wednesday registered an FIR against a candidate from Haryana and an exam centre in Punjab on the allegations of cheating in the Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET), which was conducted on June 3, official sources said.

The exam for the recruitment of Nursing Officer posts was conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Science and the CBI has registered the case following complaint from Dr Naval K Vikram, Associate Dean (Exams), Exam Section, AIIMS, New Delhi, against a candidate, Ritu, a native of Haryana and Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology in Punjab, the officials said.

In the complaint, it is alleged that unfair means were used by or on behalf of accused candidate Ritu through the computer system at Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology for the purpose of cheating in the NORCET-4 recruitment examination held on June 3, they said.

The complaint was made after a number of photos and screenshots of the question paper started circulating on social media after the exam despite cameras or cell phones being barred in exam centres, a source said.
