CBSE denies Maths question paper leak, terms it baseless

New Delhi: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday termed as "baseless" reports about question paper leak of Class XII Mathematics examination.

A HRD Ministry statement referred to news reports that the class XII Mathematics question paper in Ranchi and Dhanabad was available on WhatsApp on Sunday night and that touts were selling 51 questions and answers near examination centres on Sunday.

"CBSE would like to assert that the reports are baseless. There has been no such leakage of question paper of any kind but only two questions matched with only one question paper set. But that is a co-incidence as these two questions are also from the NCERT textbook," the statement said.
