IIT-Roorkee has confirmed that the JEE (Advanced) 2026 results portal faced a cloud storage configuration issue after a teenager who identifies as a cybersecurity researcher claimed that personal and examination details of lakhs of students were accessible without authorisation.The response from the IIT-Roorkee, which conducted the exam this year, came after 16-year-old Rylen Anil took to X, claiming that the public cloud storage endpoint of the result portal was accessible without authentication, exposing bulk candidate data.The institute on Tuesday night said the data stored was in read-only mode, with no possibility of record alteration and added that the issue was being addressed on priority.The user had alleged that around 1.79 lakh result records and 1.87 lakh admit card PDFs were accessible, along with personal details such as names and mobile numbers.IIT-Roorkee said, “The configuration issue in the cloud storage device (flagged by Anil) is being plugged on priority. The data stored was read-only and so there was no possibility of any alteration.” The development comes amid a series of technical issues reported in major exam systems, including NEET-UG and CBSE-related processes.
