I suspect that the word "scam" has a different meaning in Indian English than in the rest of the English-speaking world. In any case, it reads like "defraud", "fraud", or "deception", while many of the events described in the article would be better characterized as "theft", "wrongdoing", "mismanagement", "mishandling", "misconduct", "impropriety", "cover-up", or "corrupt acts", depending on how one wanted to shade the meaning. I hope that editors who are trying to make the article more clear for the average reader take a minute to consider using some of the terms I have suggested here.

The government initially was in absolute denial about any leaks whatsoever. They proudly claimed, boasted how immaculately they conducted such a large exam involving 2.3 million candidates. This obviously was a "deception", hence the students. parents and teachers on social media called it scam and fraud.
Later, as concrete evidence of leaks were discovered, the government finally accepted that leaks had occurred. Since the leaks were not at an "extreme", (only tens of thousands were affected out of so many) level, and since there was no proof that the government establishment was directly involved on a mass scale, it was decided (by the supreme court) that its perfectly fine to proceed with admission protocols.
