After CBSE and NTA, JEE Advanced 2026 data exposure claim puts IIT Roorkee in the spotlight

A cybersecurity disclosure has placed infrastructure linked to JEE Advanced 2026 under scrutiny after researcher Rylen Anil alleged that a cloud storage configuration exposed thousands of candidate-related records and admit-card PDFs. IIT Roorkee, the organising institute, acknowledged the configuration issue and said corrective action was being taken. The development comes amid recent cybersecurity concerns involving CBSE's On-Screen Marking system and NTA's re-examination portal, highlighting growing attention on data security across India's examination ecosystem.
