Applicants taking the Rajiv Gandhi University Common Entrance Test (RGUCET) and the Rajiv Gandhi University PhD Entrance Test (RGUPET) say that some candidates cheated by utilising mobile phones inside the test rooms at several locations across the state.

On social media, a candidate also stated that they had their phones with them while taking the tests. At Dera Natung Government College, another applicant was allegedly discovered using a cellphone. Some reported that individuals who were apprehended were just given a warning by the invigilators before being let go.

Also claiming the same, a PhD aspirant said, “I would not mind if I was not selected had the competitors played fair, but I will be disheartened if non-deserving candidates get seats by cheating.”
