T OPINION MOHIT & DR.The future of this generation is on the stack.
Indian population is more than 1.04 crores and we don't have enough sources to complete requirements of all the citizens. According to current data the major factor of this population is the young generation. They play a significant role in the growth of our country. Due to the increasing number of population we are struggling with unemployment and poverty. This is the main reason for the increased cut throat competition in every exam. Students who are securing 99 percentile are unable to get the desired package or jobs. The frustration in the youths is growing day by day. The main reason for their dissatisfaction is the examination process and increasing number of discrepancies in these years. After giving their hundred percent due to the corruption in the process of exams their future is on stack. Parliament established a strict new regulation in February to prohibit paper leaks, which led to the cancellation of the University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET), the first publicly administered exam to be cancelled nationally.
On June 19, UGC-NET 2024 was cancelled after the Union Home Ministry discovered that the "integrity of the examination may have been compromised".
The UGC-NET exam is a prerequisite for admission to PhD programs and for applying to teach at an entrylevel at an Indian institution. It was taken up by over 9 lakh students in 317 cities.
What specifically annoying is implementation of India's legislation on antiunfair means law, and its prescribed penal provisions.
The law prohibiting 'using unfair means in public examinations in India'.
The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill, 2024, was introduced in the 17th Lok Sabha on February 5. It was passed the following day, and by Rajya Sabha on February 9. The Bill aims to prevent "unfair means" in order to "bring greater transparency, fairness and credibility to the public examinations system".
