The Central Board of Secondary Education has warned teachers involved in the evaluation of Class 10 and 12 board exams against sharing misleading information on social media. The board said such posts violate confidentiality rules and may invite disciplinary action.

CBSE: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a cautionary advisory to teachers involved in the evaluation of the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations, urging them to refrain from sharing misleading information about the marking process on social media platforms.

In a circular dated March 16, the board said it had come across several online posts in which individuals associated with the evaluation process were sharing comments, opinions and personal experiences related to answer-sheet checking. According to the board, many of these posts were factually incorrect and potentially misleading, which could create confusion among students, parents and other stakeholders awaiting the results.

CBSE reminded evaluators that the answer-sheet evaluation process is confidential and governed by strict protocols. The board emphasised that any form of public discussion or disclosure related to the marking process, especially on social media platforms, is not permitted.

“Sharing misleading information, experiences or opinions regarding the evaluation process on public platforms is strictly prohibited,” the board said in the advisory, adding that such behaviour amounts to a violation of professional conduct.
