Centre to introduce Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 in Parliament on Monday

The Centre will introduce a bill proposing tougher penalties for examination fraud. This amendment seeks to increase imprisonment terms and fines for offenders. Stricter action will target service providers engaged by examination authorities. The bill also mandates time-bound investigations and trials for paper leak cases. These measures aim to strengthen the anti-paper leak law amid ongoing protests.
