Kerala state governor Arif Mohammad Khan has asked Kerala University for a detailed report on the major exam blunder that occurred where the university distributed the answer keys to students instead of the question papers during the semester exams. According to officials from Raj Bhavan, a report has been asked as part of the routine check up since the Kerala state Governor is the Chancellor of the state Universities.

As per reports, uring the re-examination of the B.Sc Electronics at Kerala University for the Signals and Systems paper, the Answer Keys were distributed instead of the actual question papers. The incident came into light when the evaluator for the Exam asked for a question paper with the answer script but instead was handed with the answer key. 

According to local media reports, the Office of Controller of Examinations printed the answer keys of the B.Sc exams by accident and it has also been noted that the incident was not reported during the exam by the students or the invigilators.
