The Story in Brief
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha said during a debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, that his role had changed after moving from the Opposition to the Treasury benches. He said he had kept silent on the NEET paper leak until steps were ready to address the problem, adding that his responsibility was now to provide solutions rather than ask questions.
Chadha said lakhs of students and families had made major sacrifices for competitive exams and that their anger was justified. He praised the Centre’s response, claimed a chargesheet was filed within 75 days, and said NEET exams would move from OMR sheets to a computer-based format. He urged parties to support stronger safeguards and avoid partisan handling of paper leaks.
The Indian Opinion
Calling paper leaks a chronic disease is justified, but presenting a proposed fix as a completed solution is premature. Computer-based exams may reduce some risks, yet centres, vendors, question banks and investigations still need scrutiny. Chadha’s shift in political responsibility also deserves examination, not applause by default. The real test is whether the next NEET is conducted fairly, with no credible leak or unexplained result anomaly.
