More than 1 lakh candidates skip the UP Board exam on the first day

On the very first day of the UP Board exams, more than 1 lakh candidates skipped writing the exam. The main reason for such a large number of absentees is being attributed to the strict measures taken by the UP government to ensure cheating free exams in the state.The government has taken many steps such as appointing STF and installing the CCTV cameras to make the exams cheating free. The exams for class 10 and 12 begin yesterday and will continue till March 12. Vikas Srivastava, the Deputy Director Education told PTI, "On the first day of examinations yesterday, over 1,80,826 students did not appear. It included over 53,100 high schools and over 1.27 lakh, intermediate students." Another Education Department official said "the huge number of absentee students was because of the extra measures government has introduced this year to prohibit malpractices during the board exams. The state government has installed cameras in exam halls, and is using the services of STF and local intelligence to check activities of education mafia."This year more than 66 lakh students registered for the board exams in the UP.Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said "the objective behind deploying STF and local intelligence agencies this year was to conduct copy free exam and to prevent the education mafia from causing mischief"."We have studied all the possible ways and means of unfair means during the examinations. Those appearing in an exam impersonating someone else or involved in changing answer sheets before they reach evaluation centers will not be able to do so. Effective measures have been taken," Sharma told PTI.
