Hyderabad: The Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) question paper leak case could well become one of the first instances in the country where aspirants used ChatGPT to cheat the system.
The special investigation team (SIT) probing the leak, has found that one of the accused used the latest AI technology to get answers after he accessed the question papers for recruiting assistant executive engineer (AEE) and divisional accounts officer (DAO). He then relayed the answers to aspirants using bluetooth earbuds while they were answering the exams.
The SIT came to know of the startling details after they picked up Poola Ramesh, 35, a divisional engineer with Telangana State Northern Power Distribution Company Limited in Peddapalli.
Ramesh got access to leaked question papers of at least three exams and used ChatGPT to get answers for two of them. According to sources privy to the investigation, Ramesh hatched an elaborate plan to feed answers to seven candidates sitting for two exams conducted on January 22 and February 26. He made all seven insert bluetooth micro earpieces in their ear canal.
A principal at the exam centre is believed to have snapped photos of the question papers and sent these to Ramesh 10 minutes after the exam started. Ramesh, who was sitting with four of his associates at another location, used ChatGPT to get correct answers and relayed them to the candidates. Each of the seven had allegedly agreed to pay Rs 40 lakh for helping them pass.
Ramesh, however, did not need to use ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer) for the assistant engineer (civil) exam on March 5 as he received the leaked question paper well in advance from Poola Ravi Kishore, a junior assistant in the electricity department, who is also a relative.
“Ramesh sold the leaked question paper to more than 30 candidates for 25 lakh to30 lakh each,” a police officer said. Ramesh hoped to make 10 crore from more than 35 candidates including some government employees. By the time the lid was blown off the scam in early March, he had received about1.1 crore. He is likely to be arrested on Tuesday.
