Bihar Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has warned that the state is becoming the hub for leaked exam papers, citing a rise in such incidents.
At a press briefing in Patna, Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav highlighted the growing problem of exam paper leaks across Bihar, describing the state as a ‘capital’ of such incidents. He cited reports of multiple leaked papers in recent state and national level examinations, noting that the trend has escalated in the past year.
Yadav pointed out that the leaks not only compromise the integrity of the examination process but also undermine public confidence in the education system. He urged state authorities to strengthen security measures, increase surveillance at exam centers, and collaborate with the police to identify and prosecute those involved.
The CM called for a comprehensive review of the current examination protocols and emphasized the need for swift action to restore credibility. He also promised that the government would allocate additional resources to support the investigation and prevention efforts.
While the government has yet to announce specific reforms, the statement has drawn attention from educators, students, and civil society groups demanding stricter enforcement and transparency in the exam administration process.
