The Indian government has introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, to address paper leaks and cheating in public exams. The law enforces strict penalties, including imprisonment and heavy fines, for offenders. Recent issues with the NEET and UGC-NET exams underscore the need for such measures. The NTA's postponement of the CSIR UGC NET exam further highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining exam integrity.
