Patna: Educator Khan Sir has raised serious concerns over the recurring issue of examination paper leaks, particularly targeting the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). He questioned the effectiveness of newly introduced security measures and demanded stringent action against those responsible.
Paper Leaks Shatter Dreams of Students
Khan Sir emphasized that paper leaks have repeatedly destroyed the aspirations of thousands of students who dedicate years to preparing for competitive examinations. He stated, 'Thousands and lakhs of students prepare for exams, but the papers get leaked. The dreams of so many poor, middle-class children are shattered.'
Questioning Security Measures
Referring to reports that the Indian Air Force would be involved in transporting NEET question papers, Khan Sir argued that the core issue remains unaddressed. He said, 'The Air Force will deliver the NEET exam paper. Typhoid injections don't work for malaria. The problem wasn't the delivery of the NEET exam paper. The problem was that the paper was leaking from where it was being printed.'
Demand for Harsh Punishment
The educator called for strong action against individuals allegedly involved in examination paper leaks. Questioning the pace and nature of punitive measures, he asked why those caught in such cases had not faced harsher consequences. 'Why haven't the teachers who were caught been hanged yet? Why haven't they been encountered? Why haven't their homes been demolished?' he added.
Ongoing Discussions on Examination Security
Khan Sir's remarks come amid ongoing discussions over examination security and efforts by authorities to prevent question paper leaks in high-stakes competitive exams. Incidents of paper leaks in recent years have sparked widespread concern among students and parents, leading to demands for greater accountability and stronger safeguards in the examination system.
