Repeated Question Paper Leaks Prompt Calls for Stronger Enforcement in Odisha

The BJD has pointed out that the frequency of paper leaks in Odisha mirrors the earlier controversy surrounding the NEET examination. Following that scandal, the central government introduced the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, which prescribes severe penalties for those involved in leaking question papers. In December 2024, the Odisha Legislative Assembly passed a similar state law, yet the BJD argues that the continued incidents demonstrate a lack of effective implementation.
