THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY - WISHES MANKIND : A Very Happy New Year and prays for peace and prosperity and Almighty God's  blessings.

INDIA : '' WHEN four million students prepare for an exam - half of those would also be busy searching for a leaked paper.

Not just them - their parents, their grandparents, everyone,'' said Brijesh Kumar Singh, a senior police officer in the city of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh who investigates organized crime, with much of his time spent on gangs pursuing exam leaks.

An investigation by one of India's largest newspaper, The Indian Express, found that more than 40 examinations had been compromised by leaks over the past five years, affecting 14 million aspirants in 15 states.

This year, the national-exam for seats in medical schools faced widespread questions after an unusual number of the two million candidates achieved perfect scores. As the government tried to contain the fallout from that case, it canceled a national exam for graduate school fellowships and junior positions at universities because of a leak.

Protesters camped outside the home of the education minister in New Delhi. The anger grew when two young men who had been preparing for an exam drowned in a basement study center as the street flooded after overnight rain.

'' We are working hard for several years, and rich students are taking advantage of the system by spending money,'' Harsh Dubey, 22, who had been attempting to pass the medical school entrance test for four years, said during a protest in Delhi.

Mr. Atri, the mastermind, once hoped to achieve his dreams the old-fashioned way. After finishing high school, he packed up his home in Uttar Pradesh and left for Kota, a small town in Rajasthan known across India for its hundreds of test-prep centers generating hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

But as he kept failing the medical school entrance test [ after ultimately passing the exam, he did not complete his medical course], he began focusing on the exam industry itself and less on the job that an exam could lead to.

On the legitimate end of the spectrum, in thousands of small towns with their own mini-Koras, are tutors with large followings, as well as managers of '' libraries,'' where students can pay for desks and study late into the night.

Mr. Atri, at first offered his services as a '' SOLVER '' taking tests for others. Later he moved into the wholesale business of exam theft, the authorities say.

Around the time he was starting out, an exam scandal in the state of Madhya Pradesh in 2015 made clear just how much money there was to be made, with billions of dollars in kickbacks traced to politicians, criminal gangs and others.

Mr. Singh, the police officer in Meerut, explained the exam breaches as a pyramid model. At the top is the procurer of the leak. Below him are middlemen. They work with agents at the village-level, who recruit customers.

Before the constable test heist, of some years ago, Mr. Atri had been introduced to Dr. Mandal, who the police say, would become his hired thief. His story is similar to Mr. Atri's.

Even so, as he was studying for a medical degree, which he completed in 2021, he kept one foot in the lucrative world of exam leaks. Dr. Mandal eventually became known in test-theft circles for his precise box-opening skills. He landed in jail in 2017 for helping to leak a medical exam, police record show.

This year, as Dr. Mandal performed his day job at a health clinic in the state of Bihar. Mr. Atari had him on standby. If Mr. Atari heard about a shipment of question sheets from one of the people he had on retainer along the supply chain, Dr. Mandal would get a call.
