Can moving India's biggest entrance examinations from pen and paper to computers finally break the country's seemingly endless cycle of exam question leaks?
The issue gained fresh urgency after weeks of protests over the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) medical entrance exam forced the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Hearing petitions on the reforms, the Supreme Court welcomed the government's efforts but cautioned that computer-based testing (CBT) alone would not eliminate the risk of exam paper leaks.
The contrasting NEET paper leaks of 2024 and 2026 illustrate why the answer is more complicated than simply digitising exams.
NEET uses four versions of the question paper, each containing 180 compulsory questions across physics, chemistry and biology.
