Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasized the importance of public job integrity for social mobility and criticized the lack of digitized record maintenance by the state government.
A medical student in West Bengal has alleged improper and discriminatory questions during a viva examination. The student claims that, instead of focusing on academics, the examiner asked about caste background, asking, "Are you Brahmin?" and inquired about personal details like "Which cream do you apply?" The incident has sparked outrage, raising concerns about bias and unprofessional behaviour in academic settings. Authorities are being urged to investigate the matter and ensure fairness in the examination process.
