Kerala Education Ministry Files Complaint Over Misleading Onam Exam Paper Claims
The Kerala General Education Minister's office has filed a complaint with the state police against social media channels allegedly spreading false claims about Onam exam question papers. These channels reportedly promise specific questions or model papers, potentially misleading students and encouraging inadequate preparation. Authorities are investigating possible data-harvesting and involvement of teachers in the misinformation. With around 40 lakh students taking the exams, the police are conducting inquiries to prevent harm to students' academic integrity and privacy.
