As part of these instructions, the board has directed examiners to award 1 additional mark to the students in the exam for good handwriting. Confirming the same, Mr Shukla said that “UP Board has for the first time decided to reward students having good handwriting (GHW). The examiners have been instructed to award one mark over the marks obtained by the student concerned in a subject by clearing marking “GHW +1” in case they feel the student has very good handwriting.”

Full Marks to Students if Question is from Curtailed Syllabus

Another key measure that is part of the UP Board Exam 2022 evaluation policy is related to questions asked from the curtailed syllabus. If any question paper includes a question that falls from the curtailed part of the syllabus due to the pandemic, all students will be awarded full marks for it.

High-level Security at Evaluation Centres

UPMSP has set up 271 evaluation centres spread across the state. To ensure the safety of the examiners and the answer sheets as well as to make sure that the evaluation process is completed smoothly, the UP Additional Chief Secretary Awanish Kumar Awasthi has ordered all commissioners of police, district magistrates and SSP/SP of districts to heighten security around the evaluation centres. Armed police personnel have been deployed in and around the exam evaluation centres round the clock at the place of storage as well as evaluation of the answer sheets.
