“The misguiding notice has been issued on fake letterhead of CBSE. Such notices are completely fake. There is no change in the class X and XII board exams,” the CBSE said.
Earlier, Controller of Examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj has said that it has been observed in the past also that during exam time certain unscrupulous elements make an effort to spread rumours on social media platforms about paper leak and claim to have access to question papers of exams.
“Miscreants also circulate fake links of sample papers with the claim that questions will be from these sample papers,” Bhardwaj said.
