NEET row: Anti-paper leak law comes into effect; fine up to Rs 1 crore

The Centre operationalised a stringent law that aims to curb malpractices and irregularities in competitive examinations and entails provisions for a maximum jail term of 10 years and a fine of up to Rs 1 crore for offenders. The move assumes significance amid a raging row over UGC-NET, 2024, exam’s question paper leak.
