Days after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) issued a public advisory against a fake circular regarding the re-examination of Class 12 Physics and Economics papers 2019, another circular stating that the board will declare CBSE Class 12 result on Wednesday, 10 April has started going around on WhatsApp.

The circular, however, is fake, as there is no official confirmation from CBSE in this regard, according to a Hindustan Times report.

The CBSE has, at several instances, appealed to students and parents not to react to any fake news in circulation and to join hands with the board for a fair and smooth conduct of examinations.

The board had even approached the Delhi Police in connection with circulation of fake news about paper leaks, following which several FIRs were registered.

The results for Class 10 and 12 students are expected to be released in the second week of May. The Class 12 examination began on 15 February and concluded on 3 April while Class 10 exams began on 21 February and ended on 29 March.

CBSE Cautions Students, Parents Against Rumours on Social Media

CBSE has been advising students and parents to be aware of any rumours on social media ahead of board examination results.

“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.”CBSE had said in a public statement.

"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," it had said.
