UP Board Tightens Exam Centre Rules to Prevent Manager-Relative School Allotments
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UP Board) has revised its exam-centre policy for 2026, prohibiting students from being assigned to centres managed by their school manager or their relatives. This new rule expands on previous restrictions, aiming to prevent managers from using family-owned institutions to facilitate cheating and financial irregularities. District Inspectors of Schools are tasked with identifying and reporting all such schools to ensure strict adherence to the updated policy, which seeks to block past practices of exchanging examinees for higher scores.
