The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an advisory against the rumours and fake information about the upcoming board exams of Classes 10 and 12. The CBSE annual board exams of Class 10 and 12 are scheduled to be held from February 15 till April 2.
“It has been observed in the past that during exam time certain unscrupulous elements make effect to spread rumours on YouTube, Facebook, X, Telegram and other social media platforms about paper leak to claim to have access to question papers of exams,” the official circular stated.
Miscreants also circulate fake links of sample papers with the claim that questions will be from those sample papers, and circulate fake pictures/videos of question papers which they claim that they have access of question paper which could be made available against payment of money.
The Board stated that these persons, group and agencies intend to fleece the gullible students and parents as they demand money in return. “CBSE is closely monitoring the situation with the help of law enforcement agencies to take stern action against persons involved in circulating fake news on social media platforms under various provisions of IPC and IT Act,” CBSE warned.
CBSE also added that it will take action against a student under UNFAIR MEANS rules and various sections of IPC if found indulging in spreading fake news. Parents are also requested to guide their wards not to believe in such rumours and not indulge in any such activity which hampers the smooth conduct of forthcoming Board examinations.
