India's leaked exam paper pushes students to tragic end

What if you studied so hard, but then the test did not seem fair? This is what happened to many young people in India.

India has a very important test. It is for students who want to become doctors. Many families want their children to pass this test. For many families, it is the most important exam in their child's life.

But something bad happened. The test paper came out early. Some students could see the answers before the test day. This was not fair to the other students. Students who did not know about the leak worked very hard and studied for months. Then they found out that other students had an unfair advantage.

Two families lost their children because of this problem. The young people felt very bad about the unfair test. They felt ashamed. The pressure was too much. Both families said they did not understand why this happened. One father asked a very sad question: "What was my fault?"

This story teaches us something important. Exams are very serious in India. Families work hard to help their children study. But when something goes wrong, it can hurt real people. One mistake by the people who run the exam can make many students feel hopeless.

Today, India is trying to fix this problem. The government wants to stop test leaks. They want to make exams more fair. But for these two families, the pain is already here.

What do you think a government should do if a test is not fair?
