During Question Hour sessions the Minister produced evidence from the Supreme Court to defend NEET (UG) results and announced that the administration had requested CBI to launch investigations and filed five charge sheets against 45 parties involved in the paper leak case.
Majumdar outlined that the government enacted the ‘Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024’ while carrying out several K Radhakrishnan committee guidelines.
The Modi administration remains dedicated to ensure examination systems remain free from corruption. The Modi administration has promised to stop all kinds of unlawful activity while maintaining a corruption-free examination system he declared.
The Supreme Court recently declared that no examination system suffers from leaks according to his claim. The Supreme Court has already delivered its decision regarding such matters so any declaration of leakage constitutes disrespect toward its judicial power.
