The Dark Side of Expertise: When Teachers Become Cheats The recent arrest of Manisha Gurunath Mandhare, a senior botany teacher from Pune, has shed light on a disturbing aspect of India's education system.
Mandhare was appointed as an expert by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for the NEET UG 2026 examination process, but allegedly used her position to leak Biology questions to prospective candidates.
Mandhare is not an isolated case; numerous teachers and educators have been accused of cheating or facilitating cheating in various examinations across India.
