The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Monday refuted rumours regarding paper leaks adding that they are “intended to create unnecessary panic among students and parents.”
CBSE board examinations 2025 for Classes X and XII commenced on February 15 and will continue until April 4.
“The Board has made comprehensive arrangements to ensure the smooth and fair conduct of the examinations. It has come to the Board’s attention that certain unscrupulous elements are spreading rumours on YouTube, Facebook, `X’ (formerly Twitter), and other social media platforms regarding paper leaks or claiming access to the 2025 examination question papers. These claims are baseless and are intended to create unnecessary panic among students and parents,” CBSE said in a statement.

The board said that it is actively monitoring and taking action against those responsible for spreading false information.
“The Board is working closely with law enforcement agencies to identify and prosecute these offenders. Students found involved in such activities will face consequences under CBSE’s Unfair Means (UFM) rules and relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC),” the board said.
The board has urged parents to advise children against believing or spreading unverified information and requested stakeholders to rely only on official CBSE updates through its official website www.cbse.gov.in and verified public channels. It advised the public to remain cautious of unverified news during the ongoing examinations.
