Transparency through new system
UP Board has implemented a new system to ensure transparency in this year’s practical examinations. Now the examiners will have to upload the marks of the students on the special mobile app of the board at the examination center itself. This app will work only within a radius of 200 meters of the examination centre. Also, examiners will have to take selfies with students and upload them on the app. The Principal has been given the responsibility of monitoring and recording the examination. Through this technical and strict rules, transparency and fairness will be ensured in the examinations.
