Following reports of widespread cheating during the Class 10 board examination in Haryana's Nuh district, specific exams were canceled due to irregularities, including the Class 10 English exam at Aarohi Model Higher Secondary School and Hindu Higher Secondary School, Nuh-05 (B-2) center, as well as the Class 12 English core subject and History exam at the NDA, Baded, Firozpur Jhirka, and NDA, Udaka centers, respectively.
