Tips for your answer

✅ Highest-scoring point: The "law vs. institutional integrity" distinction — show why the law still failed, not just that the leak happened.
✅ Facts to reuse: NEET-UG 2026 timeline (3 May exam → 12 May cancellation → 21 June re-exam), Radhakrishnan Committee, Act's penalties (up to 10 yrs/₹1 crore) — all reusable in governance/reform questions.
✅ Avoid: A one-sided "government failed" tone — balance criticism with genuine reform steps.
