NEW DELHI: HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar today said a new “foolproof” system would be in place from Monday for CBSE board exams following reports that the CBSE Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics papers had been leaked.
His comments came after the CBSE decided to re-conduct the two exams following fresh reports in social media that the class 10 paper had been leaked.
Javadekar said an internal probe was initiated into reports claiming that the papers were leaked. The Minister said he had spoken to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and apprised him about the developments.
“It seems some kind of gang is behind this and is doing it deliberately. A special team is already probing the matter and the guilty will not spared,” he told reporters as he faced a barrage of questions about the repeated leaks. (AGENCIES)
