The Central Board of Secondary Education has released an advisory on the misinterpretation of QR codes in question papers of the CBSE Board Exam 2026. The official advisory is available to candidates on the official website of CBSE at cbse.gov.in. CBSE Class 10th Result 2026 News Live Updates
The Board, in its advisory, has clarified the nature of QR codes, misleading online behaviour, mischievous propaganda and advice to stakeholders.
According to the Board, the QR codes printed on CBSE question papers are not intended to function as direct internet hyperlinks. These codes are part of internal systems for authentication, tracking, and examination integrity and do not open as web links when scanned; instead, they display the intended text.
The Board further stated that when users attempt to interpret or manually search QR-related strings online, unrelated search results- including references to any individual/ entity are shown. Such web results are algorithm-driven search outputs and bear no connection to CBSE or its examination processes.
