NBSE files FIR over Class IX exam paper leak

Results of four subjects put on hold

Dimapur, December 1 (MExN): The Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) has taken action following reports on social media about the leakage of question papers from the ongoing Phase II Class IX Final Examination 2025 at a school in Dimapur. The Board has lodged a First Information Report (FIR) with the police.

In a statement, the NBSE informed that it has “taken cognizance of the report in the social media about leakage of question papers of the ongoing Phase II of Class IX Final Examination 2025 from a school in Dimapur.” It stated that “the Board has taken immediate action by filing an FIR with the Police.”

The Board appealed to the public not to circulate unverified information online regarding the incident. “The public are therefore requested to refrain from posting in the social media anything on this matter by speculation, or raise any issue that may disturb public peace or jeopardise the police investigation process,” it said.

The NBSE clarified that examinations for the remaining subjects will continue as scheduled. However, it directed all registered schools to withhold the results of four subjects — English, Social Science, Science, and Alternative English — pending further review.

According to the Board, a re-test may be conducted “in all or certain districts depending on the extent of the leakage.” It added that action will be taken based on the findings of the investigating agency.
