President Murmu assents to anti-paper leak amendment Bill

President Droupadi Murmu has granted her assent to the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, officially enacting the legislation into law. This move follows the passage of the bill by Parliament, establishing a new legal framework aimed at curbing irregularities and malpractice in public recruitment examinations across India.

The legislation introduces stringent penalties to address the issue of paper leaks and organized cheating, which have frequently disrupted major competitive exams. By formalizing these provisions, the government intends to enhance the integrity of the examination process and ensure greater accountability for those involved in fraudulent activities. The enactment marks a significant step in the administration's efforts to reform the national testing system and protect the interests of students.
