The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an advisory addressing the spread of misinformation regarding QR codes printed on its question papers. In the advisory, signed by Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj, the Controller of Examinations, CBSE clarified that these QR codes are not designed to function as direct internet links. Instead, they serve internal purposes for authentication and tracking, ensuring the integrity of the examination process. The board noted that scanning these codes will not lead to web links but will display specific text. However, if users manually search this text online, unrelated search results may appear, which are algorithm-driven and not connected to CBSE. The advisory warns that some entities are deliberately misrepresenting these results to create false narratives about the board. CBSE has urged students, parents, educators, and media to refrain from sharing unverified claims and to verify information through official communications to maintain the credibility of the examination system.
