CBSE Cracks Down on Fake Social Media Profiles, Issues Warning Ahead of Board Exams

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has taken proactive measures to address the issue of phony social media profiles that falsely represent the board on X. The CBSE took steps to combat the dissemination of misinformation, identifying and publicising up to 30 Twitter identities that impersonated the Board. It further stated that the sole official Twitter account for X is '@cbseindia29'.

"It has come to the notice of the Central Board of Secondary Education that the following handles have been found using the name and/or logo of CBSE, with a view to mislead the general public on X," stated CBSE in its latest notification.
