"The CBSE will declare what will be the next step in a couple of days, probably on Monday or Tuesday," Javadekar told reporters here.
The minister termed the CBSE examination paper leak issue unfortunate and said culprits would not go scot-free.
Javadekar said he could understand the pain, anguish and frustrations of students and parents because we are one with them.
The CBSE has earned a name for conducting good examination and was therefore, assigned the task of conducting medical entrance examination by the Supreme Court, he said.
Javadekar said being a sensible parent, he could not sleep last night.
We must make all efforts to ensure that this exam will go really without any breach though culprits may be using newer ways and methods, he said.
He said all efforts would be made to improve the system to face the new challenges posed by the culprits and make it fool proof.
