Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill, 2024
The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill, 2024, introduced in the Indian Lok Sabha on February 5, 2024, and passed the next day, is a legislative framework designed to curb malpractices like paper leaks and unfair means in public examinations. This Bill, under the Ministry of Personnel, Grievances, and Pensions, aims to ensure transparency, fairness, and integrity in the public examination systems. It covers exams conducted by various central authorities like the UPSC, SSC, and NTA. The Bill specifies stringent punishments, including imprisonment and hefty fines, particularly focusing on organized crime and service providers facilitating malpractices. A significant aspect of the Bill is the establishment of a High-level National Technical Committee to oversee the security of digital platforms used in examinations.
