You would agree that conduct of fair examination is a must in the academic interest of the students. Accordingly, a detailed "Unfair Means Rules" have been framed by the CBSE. It is desirable that before the start of the examinations, all the students who would appear in Board examinations be informed about ethics of the examinations, their rules and the instructions issued by the CBSE."
The following is desired from the schools:-
Please read the UFM guidelines and penalties that can be imposed.
Brief the students about examination ethics and the penalties. Also inform them that they should not believe rumors and not indulge themselves in spreading rumors affecting smooth conduct of examinations.
Brief the parent also about examination ethics and the penalties.
Remind the student on the day of examination also to ensure that they are not carrying any barred item to the examination centre.
Deployed officials on examination duty be also briefed.
