The government also acknowledged that the education system has serious gaps and announced a high-powered task force, headed by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, to address them.
So in today’s Finshots, we’ll explain how exam paper leaks turned into a thriving industry in India and what it might take to even slightly fix the problem.
