In order to make the UP board exams cheating-free, the administration is trying new methods, said the information and public relations department. This time, examiners have been issued identity cards with QR codes.

Around 2.75 lakh invigilators have been appointed for conduct of cheating-free board exams, as per media reports shared by board secretary Dibyakant Shukla. The ID cards of invigilators will mention the teacher’s graduation subject and the subject being taught at a school so that a teacher of the same subject for which the exam is being held is not put on duty.
