The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has categorically refuted claims circulated in a section of the media, particularly in the Dehradun region, suggesting that the Level-1 question paper for the ongoing recruitment process against Centralised Employment Notice (CEN) 08/2024 has been compromised. The RRB issued a statement following reports of a candidate malpractice incident detected on 2 December 2025 during the second shift of the Computer Based Test (CBT) at the iCreate Solutions Test Centre in Dehradun.
During live CCTV surveillance, a candidate named Vivek was observed consulting a handwritten chit. Examination officials immediately intervened and recovered the slip. Upon questioning, the candidate confessed that the chit had been provided by external individuals who had misled him into believing it contained correct answers. The RRB confirmed that the recovered chit merely listed numerals from 1 to 4 and bore no relevance to the examination, as the questions and answer options are uniquely and randomly shuffled for every candidate.
The Board emphasised that the slip could have provided no advantage, concluding that the candidate had been deceived by externalmiscreants.Following established protocol, a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at the Patel Nagar Police Station in Dehradun and the matter is currently under police investigation. The RRB reiterated that its digital system for generating, storing and administering question papers is fully secure and encrypted, asserting that the incident was one of isolated individual misconduct and did not constitute a breach of the secure examination process.
