DIMAPUR — The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has submitted a representation to the chairperson of the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) urging stringent disciplinary action in connection with the Class 9 Final Examination 2025 Phase-II question paper leakage.

In the representation, the NSF stated that it is gravely disturbed by the developments confirmed by the Board’s notification.

"Such incidents not only compromise the sanctity of the examination process but also erode the trust of students, parents and all stakeholders in an evaluation system that is expected to uphold fairness, transparency and merit," it stated.

The Federation acknowledged the immediate steps initiated by the Board, including the continuation of examinations, strict confidentiality measures, and the temporary withholding of results for four subjects. However, it emphasised that decisive and exemplary disciplinary action against those responsible is crucial.
