The Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 was passed in the Lok Sabha on 29 July 2026 by a voice vote. Introduced by Union Minister Jitendra Singh, the bill proposes stricter action against examination paper leaks and unfair means. The amendment includes fast-track courts in every state for paper leak cases and requires investigations to be completed within two months. Those convicted of leaking examination papers may face up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 50 lakh. Organised paper leak syndicates may face fines of up to Rs. 10 crore. The bill was passed after a debate over the NEET paper leak issue and protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). During the discussion, Rahul Gandhi alleged police action against students during the protests, leading to objections from BJP members.
