According to the Prime Minister, a fresh set of reforms aimed at preventing examination fraud is expected to be discussed during the Union Cabinet meeting. He said the upcoming measures would strengthen accountability and ensure that those involved in paper leaks face stricter consequences.
The statement comes at a time when students across several states have expressed frustration over recurring exam irregularities. Many candidates have demanded stronger safeguards to ensure that honest aspirants are not forced to suffer because of organised cheating networks.
The announcement has also sparked political reactions. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar welcomed the Centre’s acknowledgment of the issue but questioned why decisive action had not come sooner. State Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara went a step further, calling for a review of the current NEET examination system and suggesting that significant changes should be considered.
