The university said the decision was taken to protect the integrity of the examination process. Students from the affected centre will now have to appear for a re-exam with a fresh question paper on June 5.

At present, only candidates who appeared for the mentioned BTech Computer Science 6th semester exam for the Computer Networks subject at the Noida institute are confirmed to be affected.

The university has launched an inquiry and is coordinating with the examination centre authorities. The investigation include checking CCTV footage, reviewing invigilation records and verifying the distribution process of question papers.

The revised exam centre details and updated admit cards will be announced through an official notification.

The university said results for the concerned course and semester may be delayed until the re-exam process and evaluation are completed.
