Kerala government warns students against social media posts claiming to predict Onam exam questions

The Kerala government has urged students to avoid social media posts claiming to predict Onam exam questions, following a complaint from the General Education Minister's office. The complaint was submitted to the state police chief, requesting immediate action against social media channels spreading false information. Several educators and educational channels are currently using platforms like Instagram and YouTube to teach students.

However, some channels are allegedly using these platforms to distribute misleading content, including claims such as "we will provide the question paper" and "only the questions we mention will be asked." Such false claims can create unrealistic expectations among students and undermine proper preparation for the examination. Additionally, there are concerns that channels may be gathering personal information from students who rely on these false predictions.

The school term exams, known as the Onam examination, are conducted just before the Onam holidays. The government has directed the police to investigate the claims and seek legal action if found false, warning students, parents, and teachers against falling for such misinformation. The government's aim is to prevent the spread of false information and ensure students focus on genuine preparation for their exams.
