The board tagged a New Jersey-based ‘Morris Hills Regional District’ @mhrdschools and a Washington DC-based sports channel ‘Pardon the Interruption’ @PTI when it tweeted: “CBSE has so far successfully conducted examinations in 104 subjects like Tourism, Web applications, Hindustani vocal, Painting, Marketing, Office Procedures and Practices along with English and Info Technology held today. @PIB_India @mhrdschools @PTI.”
The tweets were meant for Press Trust of India (PTI) and Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).
