CBSE warns about unauthorised sources offering ‘quick’ ways of getting duplicate marksheets, certificates

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has cautioned students and parents about unauthorised sources claiming to provide quick services to get duplicate marksheets, certificates, and document correction. The warning came after the board noticed that certain platforms are sharing misleading information regarding availability of certificates.

Condemning the distribution of such unauthentic information, the board clarified that the unofficial platforms are not associated with CBSE and apprised of the consequences of relying on such sources including financial loss.

“It has come to the notice of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Regional Office Delhi (East) that certain unauthorized sources are circulating misleading information claiming to offer quick solutions for the issuance of duplicate mark sheets, certificates, and document corrections,” the board said in an official statement.

Taking a stern view of the activity, the central board added, “The CBSE strongly condemns the dissemination of such unauthentic and potentially deceptive information. These unofficial platforms are not affiliated with or authorized by CBSE in any capacity. Relying on such sources may lead to misinformation, financial loss, or other serious consequences.”

CBSE official website

CBSE informed that all the official and accurate information regarding the issuance of duplicate documents, corrections of certificates or other records, and any other student or examination-related services is available only on the official website – cbse.gov.in.

Given that, it advised all students, parents, and stakeholders to rely “exclusively” on official notifications issued by the board through its website, regional offices, or verified communication channels.

Stating its position in case of accountability, CBSE further said, “The Board shall not be held responsible for any issues arising from information circulated through unofficial or third-party sources.”
