PRAYAGRAJ: The exams will end on March 12.

Hectic activity was witnessed all through Sunday at UP Board headquarters in Prayagraj where last minute measures were put in place to ensure smooth commencement of the examinations.

A total of 54,37,233 students are enrolled to take the exam at 8140 centres in the state. Elaborate arrangements have been made for ensuring error and copying free exams.

Due to the Mahakumbh rush, the first exam of Prayagraj examinees would now be held on March 9. A total of 2,02,349 students, including 92,961 of high school and 1,09,388 of intermediate, are to appear in exams at 335 centres in the district.

This year, as the CM's directive, first aid facilities will also be available at all exam centres, Board officials said. Trained psychiatrists will be available to help students manage anxiety and mental pressure, they added.

The government has devised a strategy involving media representatives in the monitoring process to further strengthen transparency. Live coverage and reporting from examination centres will deter unfair practices.
