The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act – the first-ever national law against the use of unfair means to rig recruitment exams conducted by UPSC, Staff Selection Commission, Railway Recruitment Board, Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) and entrance tests for central educational institutions like JEE, NEET and CUET – seeks to address issues related to unfair means in the conduct of these exams, which are not covered under the purview of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
