India has witnessed widespread student protests in recent years over recurring examination paper leaks and irregularities in competitive entrance and recruitment exams. Alleging systemic failures, lack of transparency, and compromised meritocracy, students across the country demanded stricter safeguards, accountability, and comprehensive reforms in the examination system. The sustained nationwide demonstrations eventually culminated in the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, marking a rare instance of a high-level political response to public pressure. The movement underscored growing concerns over the credibility of India's examination process and highlighted the need to restore trust through transparent, technology-driven, and accountable assessment mechanisms.

@kaylachan because the replacement announced has far more corruption record than the one resigned

@Rimps85 Yeah, same thing here. The present government keeps saying everything is the fault of the previous government. And more corruption than ever before.
