HT Correspondent | Jan 25, 2020
New Delhi: With board exams around the corner, the
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Saturday warned students and
parents about “mischievous elements” spreading rumours on social media
regarding question paper leaks and change in patterns.
In an advisory issued on Saturday, CBSE secretary Anurag
Tripathi said, “It is being noticed that certain unscrupulous elements intend
to spread rumors by hosting fake videos and messages on news platforms and
social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to spread confusion
and panic among students, parents, schools and general public.”
The board has asked parents and students to restrain
themselves from falling for such rumours. “The mischievous elements involved in
such activities are hereby warned and advised to restrain themselves from such
unlawful activities of spreading rumours. In case any such information comes to
the notice of the CBSE, immediate remedial action as necessary and measures as
per provisions of law will be taken by the CBSE,” Tripathi said.
The CBSE class 12 examinations will be held from February
15 and conclude on March 30, while the class 10 examinations will be held from
February 15 to March 20. Around 31 lakh students will appear for the class 10
and 12 CBSE board exams this year.
According to a CBSE official, some videos have been
making rounds on social media, sharing false information about some papers
being leaked. Last year, the board had filed multiple police complains after
noticing similar posts online, including a video on YouTube that claimed to
have access to the class 10 mathematics examination question paper.
