The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an advisory to address rampant misinformation regarding QR codes printed on examination papers. The board clarified that these QR codes are not clickable web links but serve as internal identifiers for tracking and maintaining examination integrity. This advisory was prompted by confusion among students who, after scanning the codes, found unrelated search results, including references to social media influencer Orry. The advisory emphasized that the QR codes display specific identifiers related to the exam, such as subject and paper codes, and are not linked to external content. The board has urged students and the public to refrain from sharing unverified information and to rely on official communications. The introduction of QR codes followed a 2019 incident where exam papers were leaked, leading to a re-conduct of the Class 12 economics examination. The QR codes are designed to help track the distribution of question papers and ensure their authenticity, reinforcing the integrity of the examination process.
