'Click the link': A mistake on an answer sheet exposed an alleged AI cheating scandal at MP Central University

<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/click-the-link-a-mistake-on-an-answer-sheet-exposed-an-alleged-ai-cheating-scandal-at-mp-central-university/articleshow/132755720.cms"><img border="0" hspace="10" align="left" style="margin-top:3px;margin-right:5px;" src="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/132755720.cms" /></a>A routine evaluation at Dr Harisingh Gour Central University uncovered an alleged AI-assisted cheating case after an examiner spotted the phrase, "Click the link to watch the full video answer," on a student's answer sheet. The discovery led to an investigation, the withholding of one affiliated college's results, and a wider inquiry into suspected use of ChatGPT during university examinations.

Reported by timesofindia.indiatimes.com on 2026-07-31T09:54:16+05:30. How to use this in an interview room:

Turn this development into a 40 second point of view you can offer when asked about industry trends.
Prepare one follow-up question for the interviewer based on this shift.
Practise saying it out loud. Reading it is not the same as speaking it.

What placement season looks like after this this week

Pick one story above and write 150 words on why it matters to your field. That is interview material.
Update one section of your resume or LinkedIn profile using the language employers used in these reports.
Send one message to a working professional in a company named above and ask what changed for their team.
Do a two-minute spoken summary of this briefing, record it, and listen back for clarity and pace.

Reading the news is not preparation. Turning it into a sentence you can say out loud in a room full of recruiters is. That is the gap most candidates never close, and it is the cheapest one to close.
