CBSE Warns Schools Against Fake Teacher Training Email Trying to Capture Sensitive Information

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) recently discovered that some schools affiliated with the CBSE have started receiving emails containing the subject line “As per CBSE approved Syllabus Free Teacher’s Training on AI (Practicals) and Advance Python.” Furthermore, it claims all participants will receive an absolutely free book on Python and AI.

The further notice says, “The email directs recipients to a Google Form that asks for sensitive information, including details of trustees, CBSE city coordinators, and the strength of the school. Please be advised that CBSE has not issued any such email. We urge you to ignore and delete any such communication to protect your personal and professional information.”
