CBSE is of the view that everyone participating in examinations as a
student or as a functionary should be made self-accountable for their responsibilities. Hence, all the students will satisfy themselves before entering into the examination centre that they are not carrying any article which could be used and helpful in improving the performance of the candidates in the examination or a threat for the safety and security of the examination. In case, it is observed that above instructions are not followed by the students and they are caught, CBSE will not refrain from taking severe actions against the student including cancellation of the examination.
