NO. OF ABSENTEES TO BE UPLOADED

-

Nina Srivastava, secretary, UP Board, asked all district inspectors of schools (DIoS) in 75 districts of the state to encourage exam centre superinten­dents to upload the number of absent examinees on the Board’s website (upmsp.edu.in) half an hour after the day’s paper begins. There are over 8,500 exam centres in UP. According to Board officials, at least 30% centres were not uploading the number of examinees skipping the examinatio­n.

Result: It is for the first time in over nine-decade history of the Board that such a large number of examinees have quit midway. Board records reveal that till the fifth day 10,47,406 examinees both high school (6,24,564) and intermedia­te (4,22,842) had quit by Saturday.
