The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued strict warnings against individuals and teachers posting 'misleading and factually incorrect information' about its examination and evaluation processes on social media platforms.
The board has issued two circulars, one for individuals not directly involved in the evaluation process and another for teachers involved in the evaluation process, including digital On Screen Marking (OSM) evaluation for Class 12 board examinations.
CBSE's controller of examinations, Dr Sanyam Bhardwaj, said that sharing false or misleading information about CBSE examinations or evaluation processes on social media is strictly prohibited and individuals found indulging in such activities will be liable for legal action.
The board has also reminded teachers that the evaluation process is confidential and governed by strict protocols, and that sharing any information, experiences, or opinions related to it on public platforms is strictly prohibited.
CBSE has introduced the OSM system for evaluating Class 12 answer sheets from the 2026 board exams, shifting to digital assessment while retaining pen-and-paper exams and human evaluation.
The board examinations 2026 for Classes 10 and 12 began on February 18 this year, with over 4.37 million students registered for the exams.
