2000 — 2009: PRINTING PRESS THEFT

Dominated by physical question paper leak syndicates like the Ranjit Don gang. Break-ins or insider collusion at contracted printing presses in Delhi and Kolkata targeting CAT and AIIMS PG. Solvers operated physically in leased hotel suites.

2010 — 2019: BLUETOOTH & OMR FRAUD

Shift toward electronic concealment (micro-earphones in AIPMT 2015) and institutional infiltration. Highlighted by the multi-year Madhya Pradesh Vyapam engine-bogie solver seats and post-exam blank OMR filling in SSC CGL and state commissions.

2020 — 2026: DARKNET & REMOTE EXPLOITS

Characterized by remote computer-based test hacks (JEE Main Russian hacker case), rapid Telegram digital dispersion, and transport warehouse breaches (UP Constable 2024), prompting the national enactment of the Public Examinations Act 2024.
