This attempted fraud, which occurred alongside the examination on October 11, has alarmed the concerned authorities. Bluetooth earpieces were seized from two candidates caught in suspicious circumstances at Goa Airport.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the candidates misused advanced technology to obtain answers for the exam.
