The NEET paper leak has triggered protests across India, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi promising a swift investigation and punishment.
The NEET paper leak is not a minor issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said, promising a swift investigation and punishment for those responsible.
Modi made the remarks through a video message published on his social media accounts.
The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test took place on May 3. However, its question papers reportedly leaked several hours before the examination began.
The incident triggered widespread unrest and student protests across India.
Modi said the allegations affected the country’s young people and the nation as a whole. He acknowledged the severe distress caused to lakhs of students and their parents.
Many candidates had spent months preparing for the examination before the leak raised questions about fairness and the credibility of the process.
The Prime Minister said the government was investigating allegations involving competitive examinations and question paper leaks. He also assured the public that authorities would punish those found responsible.
Modi further expressed hope that Parliament would approve new legislation designed to prevent similar incidents.
He said the proposed law would accelerate legal action against offenders and support wider reforms in governance and development.
The government’s response now depends on whether investigators can identify those responsible for the NEET paper leak and restore confidence among affected students and families.
