JNU officials remained unavailable for comments. University sources claimed that the paper was circulated after the exam and anybody could claim it was leaked.

“We have not received any complaint from JNU. It is impossible that the paper was leaked,” NTA Director General Vineet Joshi said. Prasad said it was the responsibility of the NTA, which conducts the examination, to ensure the credibility of the JNUEE.”I appeal to the elected representatives of (the) JNUSU and students community to take this issue with adequate seriousness,” he added.
