The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released an advisory addressing the recent controversy surrounding QR codes printed on Class 12 exam papers. The board urged students, parents, and educators to refrain from sharing unverified claims after some individuals linked the codes to internet personality Orry and singer Rick Astley. The CBSE clarified that these QR codes are not intended to function as hyperlinks but are part of internal systems for authentication and maintaining exam integrity. The board emphasized that unrelated search results from scanning the codes are algorithm-driven and do not reflect any connection to the examination process. In light of these developments, the CBSE has advised all stakeholders to verify information through official channels and to avoid amplifying misleading content that could damage the board's credibility.
