Beware of rumours, CBSE tells students

New Delhi: The CBSE has advised students and parents to be aware of rumours on social media ahead of board examinations and not panic. “It has been noticed in the past that certain unscrupulous elements spread rumours by posting fake videos and messages on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms, obviously with the intention of spreading confusion and panic among students, parents, schools and public,” the CBSE controller said in a public notice.

“Persons involved in such activities are warned and advised to restrain themselves from such activities. In case any such information comes to the notice of the CBSE, immediate necessary actions will be taken as per law,” he added.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has also appealed public in general to cooperate with it for the smooth conduct of exams.
