As questions continue to mount over the alleged NEET paper leak, RSS-affiliated organisation Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas has demanded strict legal action and wide-ranging reforms in the examination system, saying such incidents have now taken the shape of organised crime that threatens the future of lakhs of students.
In a statement issued on Friday, the organisation’s national coordinator, A Vinod, expressed concern over the alleged leak of the NEET question paper and the possible involvement of coaching centres.
He said similar incidents had surfaced in previous years as well, but despite repeated warnings, authorities failed to take adequate precautions, making the situation more serious.
Calling the matter a direct attack on the hard work and trust of students, Vinod said paper leaks were no longer isolated incidents but part of a larger organised network.
He said those involved should face legal action similar to that taken against organised criminal gangs to effectively curb such cases.
The organisation also demanded a CBI investigation into the matter to determine how the leak took place, who was involved, and where lapses occurred in the system.
According to the statement, identifying the guilty and ensuring strict punishment was necessary to restore confidence among students preparing for competitive examinations.
The organisation stressed that the issue was not limited to one examination alone, but pointed towards deeper structural weaknesses in the conduct of entrance and recruitment tests across the country.
It said there was an urgent need to create strong and standardised protocols for all competitive examinations.
Vinod said every examination-conducting body should coordinate properly with district administrations and police authorities to ensure security, confidentiality, and fairness during examinations.
He added that every candidate should have complete faith in the credibility, transparency, and integrity of the examination system.
“This is not merely an administrative responsibility, but our collective responsibility towards the future of the nation’s youth,” he said.
The organisation also suggested periodic expert reviews of examination systems at both structural and implementation levels so reforms could be introduced in line with technological changes, students’ expectations, and evolving national requirements.
Describing examinations as more than just a selection process, Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas said the system represented the trust of young people and respect for the country’s talent, making it essential for examinations to remain secure, transparent, and fully reliable.
