The Odisha Board of Secondary Education has rejected accusations of a leak regarding the ongoing Class 10 Mathematics question paper. Board President Srikant Tarai, in a press conference, affirmed the integrity of the examination process, dismissing any suggestion of a breach.

Assurance amidst controversy

Tarai emphasised the importance of maintaining confidence in the examination system, urging students to approach the exams "without any confusion." This statement comes amidst reports circulating on social media claiming the dissemination of purported images of the Mathematics question paper.
