While authorities say this curbs organized fraud, critics call it unconstitutional and ineffective, arguing it harms legitimate users and ignores systemic education flaws. With nearly 2.28 million candidates already registered, the move has sparked protests and demands for the education minister’s resignation, as investigations into the leak continue with over a dozen arrests made.
