CBSE Class XII Accountancy Paper Leaks False; Fake Messages Being Circulated Says the Board

In what is being called a major embarrassment for the Central Board of Secondary Education, the Accountancy paper for the class 12th boards was allegedly leaked on WhatsApp and social media on Wednesday evening . The Board immediately met to discuss if the exam should be scrapped, even as students were appearing for the examination.

The CBSE, in a press release, sent out a while ago, has denied the leak and said that "All the seals have been found intact at all the Exam centres. During the process of Examination, however, at local level, some miscreants have tried to play mischief by circulating messages through whatsapp and other social media to disturb the sanctity of examinations. CBSE has decided to take strict action against such activities. FIR is being lodged by CBSE today."

The CBSE exams started on the 5th of March earlier this month and the XII boards are scheduled to continue till the 13th of April. The results for the CBSE board exams are expected in the month of May.
