Calicut University repeated last year’s question paper for a recent Undergraduate Multi-Disciplinary Course (MDC) test, which used the same set of questions as the previous year’s exam.
The repeated paper appeared in the first-semester MDC exam (“Art of Stress Management”) on November 25, 2025. The content was the same as the previous year’s exam.
Typically, three different sets of question papers are prepared, but one set mistakenly reused last year’s paper.
University authorities said the matter has come to their notice and will be placed before the Board of Studies for further decisions on the conduct of a fresh examination.
