New Delhi (NVI): A message is circulating on WhatsApp claiming that the board examination for Class 10 will no longer be conducted under the provisions of New Education Policy (NEP).
Refuting the claims, the Fact Check Unit of Press Information Bureau (PIB) took to Twitter and clarified that this message about Class 10 board examination is fake and the Ministry of Education has not issued any such order.
“A message has claimed that as per the new education policy, there will be only board exams in class 12 and there will be no provision for board exams in class 10.
#PIBFactCheck: This claim is fake. Education Ministry of India has not issued any such order,” it tweeted in Hindi.

Earlier, a fake news claiming that that only the students who pass the CBSE pre board examinations will be given the admit card for the board examination had gone viral.
The PIB launched this fact-checking unit in December last year, to curb such misinformation and viral fake news related to government’s schemes and policies that are circulated on social media platforms.
