The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released a list of handles that have been found to be using the name and/or logo of CBSE, with a view to mislead the general public on X (formerly Twitter).
There are several accounts that impersonate CBSE, however, students should remember that there is only one official account of CBSE on ‘X’, with the handle ‘@cbseindia29’.
Some of the fake handles are:
| @Cbse_official | @cbseboard |
| @CBSENEWSINDIA | @CBSEupdates |
| @CBSE_Results | @cbse_guide |
| @cbseexamresults | @cbse_news |
| @CBSE_HQ | @cbse_nic_in |
| @cbscExam | @CBSEINDIA |
CBSE has listed nearly 30 such Twitter handles which are impersonating the Board and spreading misinformation.
“It is hereby informed that appropriate action is being initiated against these Social Media Handles. The public is hereby cautioned and advised to follow only the official X handle of CBSE, which is @cbseindia29 for verified and authentic information pertaining to CBSE,” the Board said in an official notice.
Meanwhile, CBSE has issued the admit cards for the board exams of Class 10 and 12, which are scheduled to begin on February 15. Also, this year, CBSE has decided to not award any overall division, distinction or aggregate to the students
