UP Board 10th, 12th exams 2021: Question papers prepared, final decision on exams by May-end

A final decision on UP Board exams will likely be taken by end of this month.

The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) will be taking a final call on the conduct of the UP Board 10th and UP Board 12th exams by May-end. The decision of UP Board exams 2021 will be taken after a meeting with the Chief Minister, said Deputy CM Dinesh Sharma.

“In the meeting with Rajnath Singh, 90% of states demanded to conduct 12th exams as Class 12 results are counted in for further education of a student. We've discussed our situation with the Centre,” added Deputy UP CM Dinesh Sharma. 

The minister further said, ‘We have already printed the papers, made sets of decoded copies and allocated 8,513 centres to follow social distancing during examinations. We're analysing the COVID-19 situation. We'll discuss with the CM and a final decision will likely be taken by the end of this month.”

While highlighting the issue of the conduct of the UP Board exams, the state Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh said, “When the education dept will finalise (dates for 12th board exams) then the health dept will see how to maintain COVID-19 protocols in centres. We've conducted panchayat polls and other programs following COVID protocols. So, it won't be difficult for us.”

Earlier, the Deputy CM said that UPMSP has completed the preparation for conducting the UP Board 10th, 12th exams 2021. He also said that the state board has also made the necessary arrangements to announce UP Board 10th Result 2021 and UP Board 12th Result 2021 within a month after successful completion of the examinations.
