The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has firmly dismissed rumours about a paper leak for the 2025 board exams, calling them “baseless” and intended to “cause unnecessary panic among students and parents.” The board emphasized that these claims are false and will not disrupt the ongoing examinations.
Clarification from CBSE on paper leak rumour
CBSE has made it clear that the rumours about the board exam papers being leaked are completely unfounded. The board is conducting the exams for approximately 44 lakh students from 8,000 schools across India and abroad. The exams, which began on February 15, 2025, will continue until April 4, 2025. CBSE also mentioned that the spread of these rumours is an attempt to create fear and confusion.
False Rumours and Their Sources
The board attributed the spread of these rumours to unreliable sources on social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter). CBSE highlighted that such misinformation disrupts the fairness and smooth conduct of the exams. It warned that any individual or student found involved in spreading such false information will face strict action as per the CBSE’s Unfair Means (UFM) regulations and the Indian Penal Code.
Security Measures in Place
CBSE has implemented enhanced security measures for the 2025 board exams. These include CCTV surveillance at examination centres, a strict dress code, and entry regulations designed to prevent any form of misconduct. These measures not only ensure a controlled examination environment but also allow the authorities to monitor the spread of false information closely.

It also urged everyone to ignore any unauthorized information and report such instances to the concerned authorities immediately.
Legal Action Against Rumour Mongers
CBSE has made it clear that any person or group involved in spreading false rumours about exam paper leaks will face legal consequences.

Examination Process Undisturbed
