Madhyamik: Purported Life Science question paper images shared

Purported images of the Life Science question paper started making rounds on WhatsApp on Wednesday after the examination of the class 10 state boards began, even as authorities said that there was no report of any leak.

Purported images of two pages of the question paper were shared around 1.30 pm and officials suspect that it emerged from the Murshidabad district.

An official of the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) said that they are yet to verify if the questions in the images tallied with the original one.

"There is no question of cancellation of the exams," the official said.

A senior teacher, involved in conducting the Madhyamik exam, said, "Though there are reports of some questions tallying with the original, it cannot be called a leak as exams began long before those images were shared on social media."
