Nandan Nilekani heads high‑powered task force as India moves to pass anti‑paper‑leak amendment bill

Nandan Nilekani exam reform task force Public Examinations Amendment Bill paper leak NEET protests

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the creation of a high‑powered task force on examination reforms led by Infosys co‑founder Nandan Nilekani. The panel, which includes senior officials such as S. Somnath and V. Kamakoti, is tasked with modernising India’s public‑examination system and preventing question‑paper leaks.

In the monsoon session of Parliament, Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh is set to table the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. The bill proposes fast‑track courts in every state and union territory, stricter punishments of five to ten years’ imprisonment and fines up to ₹50 lakh for paper‑leak offences, and the creation of a Special Task Force that must complete investigations within two months.

The legislation follows weeks of nationwide student protests over alleged NEET and CBSE paper leaks, which forced Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign. Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal said the government “surrendered” to student pressure before introducing the bill.
