The name of the website is cisthetaglobal.comOn Wednesday, the board clarified that all the questions were original and were set by the examiners only two months ago. The JEE question paper, a senior CBSE officer said "contain questions that are picked out of question bank containing close to 1,500 original items. The question bank is prepared by over 100 experts and each question is handwritten. After that, 90 questions are drawn randomly from the bank and eight to nine sets are created. After this, the moderator even makes handwritten changes to each set. Then anyone set is randomly picked for use in JEE and sent to the confidential printer". Asking people to not pay heed to “falsities”, the Board's statement said, “CBSE reiterates that all these 7-8 questions were originally written only about two to three months back and they cannot and could not have figured in any model paper by any coaching institutions two years back. There is an atmosphere of falsities and rumors mongering being deliberately perpetrated against a prestigious organization like CBSE."An HRD ministry official said "There seems to be a conspiracy to create panic and we are trying our best to defeat that. The latest rumors on the JEE (Main) examination appears to be a case of rivalry between two coaching centers with one trying to tarnish the image of the other with the fake news".
