A suspected ‘guess paper’ had reportedly been circulated on a large scale nearly 12 to 15 months before the examination. It was 150 pages long and contained 410 questions. It is being claimed that around 120 Chemistry questions in it matched the questions asked in the NEET examination.

The leaked copy of the question paper was reportedly prepared in Nashik and later reached Haryana. Ten sets of the question paper were then prepared, following which they spread to Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Rajasthan.
