China recently conducted its Gaokao, the world's largest university entrance exam, with nearly 13 million students appearing over two days. The Chinese Embassy in India highlighted the extensive national measures taken, such as factory shutdowns and traffic controls, to ensure a smooth exam process. This drew comparisons with India's JEE and NEET exams, which have faced controversies including paper leaks and re-examinations. While China’s Gaokao is also not without incidents of cheating and leaks, authorities have taken legal action to address them.
