A short video on YouTube has surfaced showing the final exam question paper for the Functional Analysis PhD coursework at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. The clip, uploaded by the channel @MathmaticsupdateExamjobphdwork, displays the hashtags #PHD, #COURSEWORK, #FUNCTIONALANALYSIS, #FINALS, #QUESTIONPAPER, #INDIANINSTITUTETECHNOLOGYBOMBAY, and #SHORT.
The video has garnered 174 views and 3 likes within 8 hours of posting. While the content appears to be a genuine exam paper, its dissemination raises concerns about academic integrity and copyright infringement. IIT Bombay has not yet issued a statement regarding the leak.
The uploader's channel primarily focuses on mathematics updates, exam preparation, and PhD-related content. The exact nature of the paper—whether it is a sample, past year paper, or indeed the current finals—remains unclear.
