Education & Career

What’s your recent WTF moment?

I have to tell you guys this.

Indian Education system rick rolled grade 12th math students in their finals! I mean it in literal terms.

So I am a CBSE board student, which is another education board just like IB or ICSE or A Level. More than many Indian students are from CBSE boards.

On 9th March, we had our CBSE Math Board Examination. Basically our math high school finals. Every question paper of every subject has a QR code on the front page which ensure security and traceability of each exam paper, so that paper leaks can be prevented. However, when you scan the QR code on the Math Board Examination 9th March 2026 question paper of grade 12th, then you are redirected to a youtube video which shows the infamous Rick Roll. (yes you can take the question paper with you at home after the exam is over)

To explain the gravity of this situation, if you're American, it is similar to be rick rolled by College Boards through a random link on your SAT or AP or ACT paper. If you're from UK, then it is similar to receiving a QR code on GCSE or A levels paper which opens up to a rick roll video.

I actually didn't know this, today I attended the English Board Examination paper and one of my friend said this to me, I scoffed at her. But I came back home and scanned the QR code on my math question paper and I was rick rolled!

So all the Indian Math students are rick rolled. CBSE basically told us 'You are cooked'. Something like this never ever happened before as CBSE takes the board examinations very seriously. A very WTF moment indeed.

All Indian math students are rage baited lol, 12 years of education only for this?
