Chhattisgarh Board Cancels Class 12 Hindi Exam, Re-Test on April 10

Overview

• CGBSE declared the March 14 Class 12 Hindi exam null and void and scheduled a fresh test on April 10 from 9:00 am to 12:15 pm with phased distribution of answer sheets and question papers.
• The board moved after claims that one question paper set circulated on social media and in newspapers, prompting an FIR at City Kotwali and a cyber police inquiry.
• An examination committee reviewed the reports and concluded the exam’s integrity was compromised, which led to the cancellation and re-test decision.
• The notice states the paper will follow the prescribed syllabus, the date holds even if a government holiday is declared, and the board may change the schedule if required.
• Context from recent coverage highlights a state bill proposing tougher penalties for leaks, while News18 reports tighter centre security and freshly set papers for the re-exam.
