A five‑week Gen Z sit‑in at Jantar Mantar prompted the government to replace the Union Education Minister, set up a Nandan Nilekani‑led task force on exam reform, and secure a promise from Prime Minister Modi for stricter penalties on exam tampering. Protesters argue that even a flawless examination system will not solve the deeper problem of insufficient quality jobs for India’s youth.
