Amid concerns over exam paper leaks, the Maharashtra government on Friday tabled a bill in the state legislative assembly that aims to prevent malpractices in competitive examinations.
The bill, titled 'Maharashtra Competitive Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024', was tabled by minister Shambhuraj Desai in the lower House of the state legislature.
Under the bill, the offences related to the conduct of competitive examinations shall be cognisable, non-bailable and non-compoundable.
The objective of the bill is to bring greater transparency, fairness and credibility to the competitive examination system and to ensure the youth that their sincere and genuine efforts will be fairly rewarded.
