The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced that Class X Sanskrit elective and Class XII Political Science papers being floated on social media were either fake or from earlier years.
The board confirmed that the question papers shared by a certain YouTube link were actually from the last year.
"Students are hereby alerted not to believe or subscribe to any such sites. It is reiterated that the question papers circulating on these social media sites are either of earlier years or fake," the board said in a statement on Saturday.
It asked students to remain cautious of any rumour mongering or mischief by certain elements. The CBSE called the paper doing social media rounds "fake."
