It may be mentioned here that Madhya Pradesh government established Vyavasayik Pariksha Mandal to conduct vocational examinations. Earlier, it was to conduct pre-medical examination but later it was assigned to conduct entrance examinations for 14 vocational courses including engineering, polytechnics and agriculture. The organisation had conducted pre-medical examination several years ago for admission to medical colleges in Madhya Pradesh but some students were selected without appearing at the examination.

After the matter came into light, an inquiry was ordered in which names of a number of white collared persons, political leaders, senior officials and business tycoon cropped up in 2013. At least 40 persons including witnesses and persons involved in the scam died under mysterious circumstances. Late, the Madhya Pradesh government handed over the matter to the CBI.
