The government described the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill 2026 as a visionary step to safeguard youth futures. The opposition called it a cosmetic exercise.

The Lok Sabha took up the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill 2026 on Tuesday. BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said the amendments would boost transparency and fairness in exams. An ordinary criminal would face a Rs 50 lakh fine and five to 10 years in jail.

Congress deputy leader Gaurav Gogoi questioned why the 2024 law needed major changes so soon. He called for structural reforms and condemned police action during student protests.

Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav highlighted student suicides linked to the NEET issue. BJP MP Anurag Thakur defended the bill and accused the opposition of politicising the matter.
