Do not fall for fake notices on social media: CBSE to students

New Delhi : The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Monday alarmed students that several fake notices have been seen circulating on the social media and advised them to check the official source for any new development on the Board Examination. The board said that these fake notices are mainly aimed at misleading students and parents.

Several social media posts have been claiming false information on board exams, evaluation and pass criteria.

"The board has in the recent past taken strict action against rumormongers by filing FIRs against individuals, links under IT act, it will be again compelled to trace the sources and book these miscreants under law," said Anurag Tripathi, Secretary of CBSE in the statement.

So far, the CBSE has announced that the board examinations will be conducted only for the main subjects and the dates will be announced after the situation in India improves.
