As per CBSE's rules against unfair means, sharing or uploading any exam-related material on social media is an offence. If proven, students indulged in this activity can see their current and the next three years' exams for all subjects cancelled.
The board, in its recent notification, asked parents to advise their children not to engage with or believe in unverified information, as it disrupts the examination process.
“All stakeholders, including students, parents and schools, should rely only on official communications from CBSE available on the website (www.cbse.gov.in) and verified public channels for accurate updates.”
