The Indian government is set to present the "Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill" in the Lok Sabha on Monday, targeting paper leaks in various exams. The bill suggests substantial penalties, including fines from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh and imprisonment up to 10 years for offenders. In response to recent question paper leaks in states like Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and Bihar, the legislation aims to address unfair practices in central agency competitive exams and university assessments. President Droupadi Murmu affirmed the government's commitment to combatting exam malpractices during the Budget session.
