Hundreds of unmarked exam papers from the Tribhuvan had been handed to a local police station in Kathmandu to be stored safely.
Unfortunately for the students the papers had been placed in a room that was infested with rats and a number of the papers were destroyed.
"The exams were two and half months ago. We kept the answer papers in a secure room. But a few days ago we discovered that some of them had been eaten by rats," stated police inspector Ram Prakash Chaudhary. "We told the university officials about the problem straight away. But they only came to pick up the papers today, after the news came out."
According to the Rising Nepal newspaper, the exam papers had been stored in a building with a leaking water pipe and the news service criticised Tribhuvan University of 'utter negligence'.
