UP board exams 2020: Don’t do these things at the exam centre

Carry admit card: The admit card is the most important document to be carried in the exam hall. The students should keep them in their pencil box or bag a day before the exam begins. Apart from it, the students should carry their stationery like pen, pencil, eraser and other necessary items.

Do a recce: Since now just a day left, the candidates or their parents should check the examination centre and calculate the distance from their home. Remember it is peak office time so there might be traffic. Therefore, leave the house accordingly.

Don’t try to copy: If a student is found carrying notes, electronic gadgets or caught copying at the time of examination, he/ she will be barred to appear for the next exams for two years.

Be patient, do not rush: The students are advised not to rush completing the question paper. As the question paper will be distributed 15 minutes before the examination, the students should go through the paper properly and then start answering the questions.

The Uttar Pradesh board has launched toll free helplines for students. The helpline numbers will remain active from 8 am to 8 pm. In case students have any query regarding the board exams they can connect at the official numbers, 1800-180-5310 and 18001805312.
