as a nurse, the exam leaks angle in the Cockroach protests hits close

One of the CJP demands is the resignation of the education minister over repeated leaks of medical entrance exams. People outside India might not get how big these exams are. Lakhs of students prepare for years, families spend savings on coaching, and one leak can wipe out all of it.

I work with young doctors who went through it. Some of them still talk about the stress like it was yesterday. The demand for compensation for families of students who died by suicide after leaks is the one that really got to me. It's not a joke movement anymore, whatever the name says.

Curious if other countries have one exam that decides everything like this.
