How India may break up the sector of paper leaks

The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act was notified by the Center.
It's the first Act of its sort and will assist in preventing organized crime from leaking papers.
Experts recommend localized action and a proactive role for states in the fight against the paper leak mafia.
The opposition parties are criticizing the government and have threatened to bring up the issue vigorously in Parliament, while demonstrators have turned to the streets in response to irregularities in the NEET entry and UGC-NET tests. Individuals are arguing about who is responsible for ruining crores of dreams and endangering countless futures.

All the parties involved, including the Narendra Modi government, are undoubtedly concerned about how to demolish the well-oiled paper-leak industry.

In the past seven years, question papers for at least 70 exams have been leaked, disrupting the schedules of 1.7 crore applicants.
Starting in 2010, a competitive examination system from the 1990s needs to be redesigned in light of technology advancements.

The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, which attempts to stop unfair means in public examinations and common entrance tests performed across the nation, was notified by the central government on Friday. Although it has strict guidelines, it won't be enough on its own.
Individual states must take action to end the paper leak industry, which has grown as a result of strong masters' support and rising demand. This is because the problem is most prevalent in exams administered by the states. If regional initiatives are essential for putting a stop to the paper-leak mafia, so is the use of tech.
