Rahul Gandhi has called for a broad political consensus to stop recurring examination paper leaks in India. He argued that the examination system must become student-centric, more secure, and less exposed to political influence.
The public rally address in Dehradun focused on the growing damage caused by leak incidents to students and families. Gandhi said the current examination structure is too government-controlled and should be replaced by an independent process for educational institutions and testing bodies.
What Rahul Gandhi suggested
UPSC can frame the examination-integrity debate around public-examination governance, institutional accountability, the use of secure testing technology, and the ethical duty to protect merit and student trust.
