The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi held a press conference alleging that about 152 exam paper leaks have occurred in India over the past ten years, with zero convictions of those responsible.
- The report reviews ten major leaks from that decade, including NEET-UG 2024, UGC-NET 2024, and recruitment exams in UP, Rajasthan, Bihar and other states, which together affected lakhs of candidates and forced several exam cancellations.
- It notes that before the Public Examinations Act of 2024 there was no strong central law against paper leaks, and investigations rarely reached the masterminds behind the rackets.
- The government has asked for a fact-check of Gandhi's claim, so the exact figures are still being examined.
What to watch next
- Whether an official fact-check confirms or disputes the figure of 152 paper leaks and zero convictions.
- Any convictions resulting from probes into recent cases like NEET-UG 2024 and UGC-NET 2024.
- How effectively the new Public Examinations Act, 2024 is enforced against paper-leak rackets.
