New Delhi: The Union human resource development ministry warned students and parents against “fake leak mafias”, saying a purportedly leaked political science paper is doing rounds on social media. Examination for the CBSE’s Class 12 Political Science paper was held on Friday.
Anil Swarup, Union HRD school education secretary said: “Fake leak mafias are at it again. The students and parents are advised not to fall prey to such mischiefs. The political science paper purported to have been leaked is fake. Similar attempts were made in the past to disrupt smooth conduct of the Board exams.”
The Union ministry has set up a “high-powered committee” to look into the process by which the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducts exams, following the alleged leak of the Class 10 Mathematics and the Class 12 Economics papers.
The Union HRD ministry had announced the re-examination of CBSE Class 12 Economics paper on April 25. It had said the Class 10 Mathematics re-test, if required, would be held only for the Delhi-National Capital Region and Haryana in July. However, it decided against conducting the latter.
