Every year, as the SSLC and 2nd PUC examinations approach, thousands of students prepare sincerely with hard work and dedication. Unfortunately, this is also the time when fake content creators, fraud Telegram channels, WhatsApp groups, YouTube pages, and fake websites become active and try to cheat students and parents.
With the March 2026 SSLC and 2nd PUC exams coming closer, students must be extremely careful about such scams.
The Most Common Exam Scams Students Face
Many fraudsters spread false information like:
- “Original SSLC / 2nd PUC question paper leaked”
- “Pay ₹500 or ₹1000 to get sure questions”
- “100% repeated questions will come”
- “Internal source from board has given papers”
- “Answer key before exam day”
They usually contact students through:
- Telegram channels
- WhatsApp groups
- Fake educational apps
- Instagram / Facebook pages
- Small YouTube channels with misleading thumbnails
Once money is paid, either:
- They block the student, or
- They send fake model questions, or
- They keep asking for more money
