Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) issued its second statement appointing a fact-finding committee to investigate the local government exam cheating case, with a deadline to complete the inquiry within 7 days. The university has already submitted all related evidence to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and affirmed that if any wrongdoing is found, it will be dealt with firmly according to the law.
The case arose when NACC officials, together with the Central Investigation Bureau's Anti-Corruption Division, busted a gang involved in cheating on the local civil servant recruitment exam. They raided a company in Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi Province, where suspects were caught using computers to alter exam answer sheets for candidates who paid bribes. Over ten accomplices were arrested, mostly government officials. Authorities are preparing to expand the investigation to prosecute all involved, as previously reported.
The latest update: On 26 June 2026, Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) released its second statement providing progress on the case involving the Office of Educational and Psychological Testing's administration of the local exam. The university stressed its awareness of the case's societal importance and potential impact on public trust. Consequently, SWU has taken the following actions.
First, the university appointed a fact-finding committee to comprehensively, impartially, and fairly examine the entire process. The committee's work is set within an urgent timeframe to be completed within 7 days from the appointment date (23 June 2026), aiming for a swift and thorough review.
