Lok Sabha Introduces Bill to Strengthen Anti-Cheating Laws

The government introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha on July 27, 2026, to combat examination paper leaks.

The proposed legislation aims to establish harsher penalties and ensure time-bound investigations to deter organized crime groups and institutions from compromising merit-based selection processes.

This amendment seeks to strengthen existing anti-cheating laws by providing for speedy trials and enhanced deterrence mechanisms to safeguard the integrity of public examinations.
