On hearing the name of 12th class board exam, the heartbeats of most of the students become faster. Especially when it comes to Maths paper, the stress level is sky high. In this subject, hard topics like Calculus, Algebra and Trigonometry already keep the students busy. But imagine, somehow you come out after giving a difficult Maths paper on top of your question paper and later you find out that on scanning the security QR code made on that paper, a song starts playing on YouTube! It may sound like a joke, but recently a similar case has come to light which is going viral on social media.
In fact, a video is becoming increasingly viral on the social media platform This strange incident surprised the students as well as the internet users. Many people took it humorously, while some also raised questions on the exam pattern.
This video was posted on X by a user named @Nher_who on March 9. In the caption of this clip of about 50 seconds, he sarcastically wrote that in today's episode, see how serious the institutions that organize our exams are. He further wrote that this is the CBSE Class 12th Maths Board Exam paper, which has a QR code and as soon as it was scanned, the song Rickroll started playing on YouTube.
In the video, a girl is seen holding a Maths question paper in her hand. She tells in front of the camera that she had her Maths paper on the same day and that exam did not go so well. After this she says that she has seen something interesting in the paper. The girl opens the scanner of her phone and scans the QR code made on the question paper. As soon as the code is scanned, YouTube opens on the phone screen and the very popular Rickroll video starts playing on the internet. Seeing this, she laughs and says that whoever has done this has made it a very fun game.
The user who posted the video not only shared the clip, but also uploaded a close-up screenshot of the QR code, so that people can scan it themselves and see what actually happens. Because of this, many social media users tried it and shared their experiences. Some people called it a funny incident, while others called it an example of negligence in the examination system.
However, CBSE clearly said that the question paper going viral is completely genuine and its security has not been compromised in any way. The board assured the students and parents that the exam process is completely safe and the confidentiality of the paper has been completely maintained.
CBSE further said that this technical glitch is being taken seriously. It is being investigated how this problem occurred and necessary steps will be taken to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in future. The board says that students do not need to worry about anything.
