ALLEGATIONS that the English test paper for last weekend's national entrance exams for masters applicants was leaked are being investigated by the Ministry of Education.
Web users in several provinces said the answers and essay topics were published online half an hour before the exam began.
They said these were spread via instant messaging service QQ by an education training center called Qihang in Guangzhou City, southern Guangdong Province, the Legal Evening News reported yesterday.
Screenshots of QQ messages, apparently revealing exam answers, were uploaded by web users.
A student at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Liu Ruoqing, whose girlfriend was among candidates, told the newspaper that early on Saturday morning - before the details were published - test takers were offered answers for 100 yuan (US$15.83) through QQ.
Tsinghua University has ordered Liu to write a report and hand it to education authorities to aid their probe.
Qihang has denied any connection, claiming it is being defamed by a mysterious figure, identified as "Wangzheguilai," who is said to have posted the details. The newspaper said "Wangzheguilai" could not be contacted.
The three-day national exams ended yesterday.
Growing numbers of graduates are sitting the entrance exams to embark on post-graduate studies, as more employers seek recruits with post-graduate qualifications.
This year saw 1.65 million people take the test - up 9.6 percent on last year, and a record number of candidates.
