The Uttar Pradesh board is expected to release results of class 10 and class 12 examination by the third week of April, about a month before the regular declaration dates. The evaluation will begin from March 17 and nearly 1.46 lakh examiners will be involved in the process. Board secretary Neena Srivastava said, “Since we started the exams from February 6, therefore the results will be out early. In 40-45 days, we have plans to publish both classes results. After evaluation, we will send copies for double-checking at our regional offices.”

This year, a record total of 11,28,250 students did not appear for the board exams. The exam authority said this happened due to a slew of strict measures to curb malpractice.
