New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) found itself at the centre of an unusual online buzz after students claimed that a QR code printed on the Class 12 Mathematics question paper, held on March 9, redirected them to a YouTube video instead of authentication details.

<p style="margin-top: 0px;" >According to several students, scanning the code led to British singer Rick Astley&apos;s popular song ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ on YouTube, a prank widely known on the internet as &quot;rickrolling&quot;. Screenshots and reactions soon began circulating on social media, leaving many students amused and confused.</p><span><p>
