New Bill will guard dreams and aspirations of students: HM Amit ShahNew Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday congratulated students nationwide on the passage of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. He described the legislation as a shield for the “dreams and aspirations of our youth,” emphasising that it lays down “iron-clad provisions imposing the harshest punishment on those who dare to breach the sanctity of public examinations.” In a significant step aimed at safeguarding the integrity of India’s examination system, the Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. The bill strengthens the existing framework by prescribing severe penalties for individuals or organised groups found guilty of leaking question papers, using unfair means, or engaging in fraudulent practices during examinations. With the Lok Sabha’s approval, the bill now moves closer to becoming law, marking a decisive moment in India’s efforts to uphold fairness and transparency in its examination system.
