#WATCH | Delhi | On open letter to Priyanka Gandhi about her statement on IIT Madras Director Professor V Kamakoti, South Asian University President KK Agarwal says, "The debate was on examination reforms... He is a very eminent academician... IITs have an experience of conducting an equally important exam, JEE, for several years, without any question mark. So a director of an IIT appointed as a member of the task force should be appreciated because his inputs will be very useful for this unfortunate happening... To ridicule a person of the level of Kamakoti on the floor of the parliament is certainly not acceptable to an academician like me."

Prof. Kamakoti stressed that he was deliberately withholding the exact method to prevent misuse, calling it an act of responsible disclosure. He cautioned users against treating Telegram messages as foolproof digital evidence and warned students and the public against being misled by manipulated "paper leak" claims circulating online.

Today in the Lok Sabha, I spoke on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill. Students don't want politics over paper leaks. They want a system that protects their future. For crores of ordinary families, a fair examination is often the only door to opportunity. The PM Modi Government is undertaking structural reforms and adopting a root-and-branch approach to strengthen the examination system, prevent future paper leaks, and fix the system once and for all. Watch.

#WATCH | Delhi: On NEET-UG 2026 exam cancelled due to allegations of paper leak, NTA DG Abhishek Singh says, "I don't know how you define a leak. But I will call it something which has happened, which has violated the 100% integrity of the examination and our commitment to a zero-error examination. Insofar as the typical, traditional way of leak is concerned, no question paper in the form of a complete question paper has leaked anywhere. What has happened is that a guess paper in the form of a PDF was circulating on WhatsApp, and it had a few questions which were matching with the questions which were asked. When we verified whether this was in circulation before 3rd May, it was found that some of it was. So, given that a few questions were available to some people before the examination, it makes it unfair for the 22.79 lakh students who were preparing for this examination with their hardwork. So, because of that act of a few anti-social elements, we could not have compromised the interest of the honest students. So, we took this tough call of cancelling this examination and ordering a CBI inquiry."

Similarly, there was a paper leak in the Himachal Pradesh School Examination Board when the Congress was in power. In Jharkhand, Hindi and Science papers of the JAC examination were leaked when the Congress-Jharkhand Mukti Morcha government was in office. In Telangana, language papers of the Intermediate examination were leaked when the Congress, with CPI support, was in power. There was also a paper leak in the SSC language examination in Telangana under the same government... The list is much longer, and we can discuss it in detail when the debate takes place. But I want to ask the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, why are you being selective? Why are you so selective?”

Don't Become Part of Violence and Anarchy. My humble appeal to students and youth. Students have every right to question paper leaks and demand accountability. Whether it is the NEET exam or any other examination, a paper leak affects the future of students and damages their trust in the education system. But don't allow vested interests to take advantage of your legitimate concerns. Let your elected representatives debate your issues in Parliament. #APAKADAMPolitics

During the Lok Sabha debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya strongly responded to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, rejecting claims that the BJP has lost the support of India's youth. Surya said the government is committed to protecting the integrity of public examinations by introducing stricter measures against paper leaks and organised cheating, ensuring that deserving candidates receive fair opportunities. Surya also criticized previous governments for failing to effectively tackle examination malpractices, arguing that the current administration is focused on stronger accountability and tougher legal action. He said repeated paper leaks undermine the credibility of recruitment processes and unfairly affect students who spend years preparing for competitive exams. According to him, the amendment is designed to strengthen the legal framework and restore confidence in the examination system. #tejasvi #akhileshyadav #parliament #politics

Someone do not need to be Ram Bhakt to call our corruption in the Ram Mandir. "This is not a question of faith, this is a question of corruption." A similar pattern is noticeable In 2024, the NEET paper leaks, NTA chief is sacked and Dharmendra Pradhan remains where he is. E20 Scams, Eloctaral Bond Scams and every paper leak follow the same pattern of lacking accountability. This is incompetency of the government to select the right people.

NEET CANCELLED: A Global Power That Cannot Hold A Fair Exam. In this "RAW DISPATCH FROM MY DESK" i reflect on Twenty-three lakh students or 2.3 million students who will not sleep well tonight in one of the world’s fastest rising powers. Why? Because the government finds it difficult to ensure the integrity of an exam that will decide the course of their lives. Yes, for all its pretensions of being a world power, India cannot hold an exam without the fear of a question paper leak. The NEET exam for 2026 now stands cancelled and the students will be re-tested, re-traumatised. All it took was a paltry sum of Rs 5 lakhs to ensure that cheats got hold of the paper or at least large sections of it that reportedly matched the actual NEET paper “word for word, comma for comma”. The NEET ecosystem has repeatedly faced allegations of leaks, malpractice and compromised integrity over the past decade. Investigators claim that the paper was circulating days before the exam in WhatsApp groups as a “guess paper”. The question is how did a paper allegedly copied at a printing press in Nashik travel across multiple states including Maharashtra, Haryana, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar and Kerala without the NTA detecting a single breach? And if the paper is so easily accessed every so often, isn’t it evident that organised rackets have penetrated India’s examination ecosystem under the NTA’s watch? What is surprising is that not one top NTA official has offered to hold him or herself to account. Not one has offered to step down voluntarily. In fact, when the question was repeatedly asked of Abhishek Singh, the DG of the NTA , he was evasive. The point is a simple one: given the scale of its repeated failures, does the NTA understand that every leak destroys not just an exam, but public faith in the idea of fair competition itself? The Modi government prides itself on ensuring that every ordinary Indian gets a level playing field. It must now ask itself whether it is living up to that commitment made to the people.
