The secondary education minister Balram Yadav claims to have made elaborate arrangements to ensure the free and fair conduct of the board exams in the state. As part of this, sector magistrates at district levels have been nominated to check the menace of cheating and copying at different examination centres in the state. He also informed reporters that all photocopy centres around UP board exam centres will remain closed during the exam period to keep a check on cheating in the examination.
In a first of its kind move, the UP Board of Secondary Education has also launched a mobile application, which will provide the attendance details of students present at the centre on a particular day to the heads of the respective exam centres.
