What is the prevalence of cheating in the NEET-UG exam, and are current security measures effective

Despite increased measures, 28 NEET-UG aspirants have been caught cheating in the last five years. Analyze the effectiveness of existing frisking measures.
The prevalence of cheating in the NEET-UG exam is concerning, with 28 aspirants caught in the last five years. Despite increased security measures, current frisking measures are still not entirely effective in preventing cheating. Some specific factors that limit their effectiveness include: 1. Lack of proper training: The personnel responsible for frisking the candidates are often not appropriately trained or equipped to identify and prevent cheating attempts. 2. Limited measures: The existing security measures, such as metal detectors and checking ID proofs, are insufficient in preventing cheaters from using new and sophisticated methods. 3. No stringent punishment: The punishment for cheating in NEET-UG is not strict enough, as individuals caught cheating can re-attempt the exam after a year. Thus, it does not deter potential cheaters from attempting to cheat. Overall, the current frisking measures are not entirely effective in preventing cheating in NEET-UG exams. More stringent measures and a stricter punishment policy could help alleviate this problem. Additionally, proper training of personnel responsible for frisking could help to catch more cheating attempts and prevent their recurrence.
