UP Board to Print Student Signatures on Admit Cards from 2027 Exams to Prevent Cheating
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) will print student signatures on Class 10 and 12 admit cards starting with the 2027 board examinations. This new measure aims to prevent impersonation by matching signatures on admit cards with those on answer sheets and attendance registers. The change follows reports of proxy candidates and cheating rackets using photo manipulation in previous exams. Registration for the 2026-27 academic session is ongoing, with signatures collected alongside photographs to enhance exam security and fairness.
