CBSE denies Accountancy paper leak, says it's a rumour to disturb examinations
New Delhi, Mar 15 (IBNS) : The Central Board of Secondary Education on Thursday denied leakage of its class 12 Accountancy question paper, saying "rumours" were being circulated by "miscreants" to disturb the examination even as the Delhi Government ordered an inquiry into the alleged incident.
CBSE, in an official statement, said there has been no leakage of the question paper; sealed packets of question papers have been found intact at all the examination centres.
At the local level, during the process of examination, "some miscreants tried to play mischief by circulating messages through WhatsApp" to disturb the examinations, the CBSE statement said.
The Board has decided to lodge a First Investigation Report against those who circulated the rumours and an expert committee will look into the allegation of paper leak.
Earlier, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has ordered an investigation into the complaints of leakage of CBSE Class 12 accountancy paper.
"Received complaints about the Class 12 CBSE Accountancy paper being leaked. Have asked officers of Directorate of Education to investigate and lodge a complaint with CBSE,"
Copies of the alleged question paper have reportedly been in circulation on WhatsApp.
Sisodia said, "Swift action must be taken, so that hard-working students don't suffer due to negligence of CBSE."
He said he had asked the Directorate of Education to investigate. He also said a complaint must be filed with the CBSE which conducts the exams.
