Every row here is one news report away from being verifiable — and there are leaks we have certainly missed, especially state recruitment exams before 2015 and cases reported only in regional-language press. The dataset is one CSV file. Adding to it takes a pull request.

1 Find a source. A named news report, court order, official notice or RTI reply. One incident, one primary link.
2 Add one row to exam_leaks.csv. Leave a field blank rather than guessing it.
3 Open a pull request. A preview build validates the row; a maintainer checks the source against the claim.
