Karnataka 2nd PUC Question Paper Leak: Numerous reports of a "question paper leak" for the Karnataka Second PUC exam, scheduled to begin on February 28th, have been surfacing on social media platforms. Some miscreants are circulating blurred images of question papers for subjects like Kannada, English, and Maths, and are reportedly demanding Rs 100 from students to view the full documents.
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has taken immediate action to disprove these rumors and assured the public that the integrity of the exam will be maintained. To prevent further panic among the 7.10 lakh registered students, the board has confirmed that webcasting will be mandatory at all 1,217 exam centers to ensure a fair and transparent exam process.
Are The Viral PUC question papers real or fake?
KSEAB President Prakash Nittali has officially denied any security breach and clarified that the question papers were not leaked. He called the viral videos and posts – including those made by accounts like 'Delta Kannadiga' – completely false. The board has identified the social media handles misleading students and is in the process of filing a formal complaint with the cyber police for a thorough investigation.
How is the Karnataka Board protecting students from scams?
With exams scheduled from February 28 to March 17, the board is urging students and parents not to fall prey to online fraudsters. KSEAB has emphasized that these "leaks" are simply predatory scams designed to extort money. Students are advised to focus on their official curriculum and ignore unverified social media claims as the cyber police are tracking those spreading misinformation.
