CBSE Board Exams 2023: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) today issued a public notice stating it has successfully conducted Class 10 annual examinations for approximately 21.87 lakh registered students for the academic year 2022-23.

The board took several measures to ensure smooth and uninterrupted conduction of all exams. One of the important actions was against ‘anti-social elements’ who circulated fake news of papers being leaked on social media as well as uploaded fake messages and video links to trap students and parents to pay and get the question paper.

Strict action was taken against such entities by the board and hundreds of fake YouTube links were removed so that students and parents were not misled. Complaints were also lodged with the Delhi Police Special Cell (MAC) to take appropriate action against miscreants under provisions of the Indian Penal Code and IT Act.
