CBSE Board Result: Fake Screenshots Are Going Viral — How Class 10 & 12 Can Spot Them

The CBSE Board Result 2025 is expected any moment, but even before it drops, social media is full of fake result screenshots.

Class 10 and 12 students are sharing them without realizing they are not real. But here’s how you can instantly spot a fake result and avoid panic.

Why Fake CBSE Result Screenshots Are Going Viral

• ✅ YouTube Clickbait: Fake “live result” streams show edited result screenshots.
• ✅ Telegram Scams: Groups share “leaked result PDFs” which are just fake images.
• ✅ Fake News for Attention: Some social media accounts create panic to get more followers.
• ✅ Student Pranks: Some students create fake result images to trick their friends.

But you can easily identify these fakes with these simple steps.

5 Ways to Spot a Fake CBSE Result Screenshot

✅ 1. Check the URL on the Screenshot

• If the URL is not “cbse.nic.in”, “cbse.gov.in”, or “results.cbse.nic.in”, it is fake.
• URLs like “cbse-results.com” or “cbse-result.online” are always fake.

✅ 2. Look for Blurry Text or Misaligned Fonts

• Fake screenshots are usually edited using simple tools.
• If the text is blurry, the alignment is off, or the font is different — it’s fake.

✅ 3. Watch for Wrong Details (Year, Roll Number)

• Some fake results show last year’s date.
• If the year is not “2025” or your roll number format looks wrong, it is fake.

✅ 4. Verify on DigiLocker Directly

• DigiLocker is the fastest way to access your real result securely.
• Login at digilocker.gov.in using your Aadhaar-linked phone number.

✅ 5. Ignore Result Shared Without Roll Number

• If a screenshot shows a result without asking for a roll number — it is not real.
• CBSE always requires your roll number, school code, and admit card ID for access.

What to Do If You See a Fake Result Screenshot

✅ 1. Don’t Share It With Others:

• Sharing fake screenshots only creates panic.
• Inform your friends that it is not real.

✅ 2. Report Fake Screenshots on Social Media:

• On YouTube, click “Report” and choose “Scam or Fraud.”
• On Telegram, long-press the group or message and choose “Report.”

✅ 3. Always Use Official Links for Verification:

• results.cbse.nic.in
• cbse.gov.in
• digilocker.gov.in

✅ 4. Ask Your School for Confirmation:

• If you are unsure about your result, your school can directly verify it through CBSE’s School Login.

Why Class 10 & 12 Students Fall for Fake Screenshots

• ❌ They panic due to social media updates.
• ❌ They trust their friends without verification.
• ❌ They think YouTube “live result” streams are real.
• ❌ They see multiple fake screenshots and assume it must be true.

But now you know how to stay smart and avoid this trap.

How to Protect Yourself From Fake CBSE Result Scams
