At a time when the students are eagerly waiting for updates about the CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 board exams, social media platforms are flooded with fake news regarding the dates of the board exams 2022.
The government fact check agency, PIB Fact Check has once again busted one such fake news in circulation in various social media platforms which read that 'the Board examinations for Class X and XII will commence from 4th May 2022 (Wednesday)'.
Sharing the fake notification on Twitter, the fact check agency wrote, "A notification issued in the name of CBSE claims that Board examinations for class X and XII will commence from 4th May 2022. This claim is #Fake."
It further stated that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has not issued any such notification.
Earlier, the Board had warned students about the circulation of a fake notice regarding the CBSE Class 12 result announcement date.
CBSE took to Twitter and shared the photograph of the fake notice, which claimed that the results will be released latest by January 25, dated January 22, 2022.
The Board also advised students to follow CBSE's official website only for any update and not to fall prey to such fake news on social media platforms.
On the other hand, students have been demanding cancellation of the CBSE Term 2 exams citing the recent surge in Covid-19 cases and lack of completion of syllabus.
