UP Board to Evaluate Answer Sheets in Firozabad with CCTV Monitoring and Mobile Ban The Uttar Pradesh Board has announced that 2250 teachers will evaluate answer sheets for Class 10 and 12 exams in Firozabad. The process will be closely monitored using CCTV cameras, and mobile phones will be strictly prohibited at evaluation centers. The board has also implemented strict security measures, including the presence of armed police and a ban on unauthorized individuals entering the premises. Evaluation centers will operate under strict guidelines, with a limit on the number of answer sheets each teacher can assess daily. For high school exams, teachers will evaluate a minimum of 50 sheets per day, while intermediate exams will have a daily cap of 45 sheets. Supervisors will ensure that evaluators do not exceed these limits and will personally review sheets to prevent discrepancies. Mathematics and science answer sheets will be marked using step-by-step grading, while language errors will be checked in both Hindi and English. Teachers are instructed to adopt a lenient approach for other subjects to ensure fair evaluation. The board has also requested a holiday on March 21st to accommodate the Eid festival, as the holiday falls on that date. This request has been raised by the local chapter of the Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad, which has urged authorities to declare the day as a break. Additional measures include the deployment of a static magistrate at each center and the requirement for evaluators to submit their work without using mobile devices. The board has emphasized that the evaluation process must focus solely on content accuracy, with no unnecessary scrutiny of answer sheets.#uttar_pradesh_board #firozabad #madhyamik_shiksha_parishad #eid_festival #cctv_monitoring
The Uttar Pradesh Board (UP Board) has introduced a new system for marking exam papers, aiming to enhance transparency and efficiency. Here's a concise summary of the key points: Online Mark Entry: In five districts (Prayagraj, Meerut, Bareilly, Gorakhpur, and one more), marks will be entered online instead of manually. This aims to speed up the result preparation process and reduce errors. CCTV Monitoring: All marking activities will be under CCTV surveillance to ensure accountability. Exam centers will be locked, and external personnel will not be allowed inside. Examiners' mobile devices and electronic gadgets will be kept outside the room. Computer Operators: Selected teachers or outsourced computer operators will handle the online mark entry. District officials have been instructed to ensure marks from manual sheets are uploaded to the portal promptly. Timeline: Marking will start on March 18 and conclude by April 1, 2026. Results are expected to be declared 15–20 days after the marking ends, likely around April 15–20. Security Measures: OMR sheets will be sealed in envelopes after marking and sent to regional offices. Students are advised to rely only on the official UP Board website for updates. Transparency: The initiative aims to improve transparency in the marking process and expedite result preparation. Students are urged to check the official UP Board website for the latest updates and avoid unverified sources. This system reflects the board's efforts to modernize and streamline its processes.#bareilly #uttar_pradesh_board #prayagraj #meerut #gorakhpur
