Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act 2024 with Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Rules 2024 [Bare Act with Section Notes] by Taxmann is an authoritative and practice-oriented statutory reference on India's new criminal and regulatory framework governing public examinations. The 2026 Edition consolidates the updated text of the Act and the Rules, with clear, section-wise notes that explain offences, compliance obligations, investigation mechanisms, and stringent penal consequences. Enacted to address paper leaks, organised cheating, and technology-driven examination fraud, the legislation represents a decisive shift from administrative oversight to a robust criminal-law regime. The book serves as an indispensable guide for legal professionals, examination authorities, service providers, and enforcement agencies involved in modern examination systems.
