What the CBSE advisory said
“It has come to the notice of the board that certain unscrupulous elements have created a website resembling the official CBSE website www.cbse.gov.in. This fake website has been created with the address https://cbsegovt.com/ and is blatantly duping unsuspecting students, schools and parents by sending messages to deposit money for creating and downloading the admit card for CBSE class 10 and 12, 2023 examinations,” the board said in an advisory.
The advisory further asks parents and students to be “extremely careful and not respond to any such fake messages and websites.” The board does not take any fees directly from any students or parents for downloading admit cards, it further added.
The clarification comes as both students and parents are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the class 10th and 12th date sheet. The Class 12th and class 10th CBSE exams are expected to start at their regular time (in late February or early March this year) after two years of pandemic when the schedule was disrupted.
Earlier this month, CBSE had issued clarification about a fake datesheet of CBSE examinations of class 12th and 10th doing rounds on social media websites. Times of India was the first to report that the datesheets doing rounds are fake.
