1. Exam paper leaks and crisis of accountability
The Indian Express investigation into major exam paper leaks from 2002 to 2025 highlights a severe crisis of accountability in India’s recruitment and education systems. It examined 45 large exam leaks, each involving at least one lakh candidates, covering job recruitment, entrance tests and board examinations. The findings are stark: only two cases resulted in convictions, while most remain stuck in trials, investigations or dead ends. At least 1,658 persons were arrested, 925 chargesheeted, 18 convicted, 32 acquitted and 43 remained in judicial custody. The human cost is much larger: over 3.86 crore aspirants were affected. The logic is that leak networks are sophisticated, but institutional punishment is weak and slow. The gist is that exam integrity requires not only arrests after leaks but faster trials, official accountability, forensic tracking and protection of aspirants’ trust.
