बोर्ड परीक्षा में अंक बढ़ाने के नाम पर पैसों की मांग करने वाले ठगों की फोन कॉल से सावधान रहें। अपनी सतर्कता और आपके सहयोग से हम इन अराजक तत्वों के किसी मंसूबे को कामयाब नहीं होने देंगे। pic.twitter.com/RDaAq5ntS3

The secretary said that these calls are made by cyber fraudsters and asked students to report such calls if they receive them.

Earlier this week, the board flagged a notification stating that the news doing rounds regarding the declaration of the exam on April 5 are fake.

A total of 58,85,745 students registered for UP Board high school and intermediate exams this year. Out of these, 31,16,487 students registered for high school exams and 27,69,258 students registered for intermediate exams.
