Board’s strictness even before the examination, 769 schools will not be able to become examination centres:

News India Live, Digital Desk: A big news is coming for lakhs of students preparing for UP Board 10th and 12th examination. If you are also going to give board exam in 2026, then you must read this news. Often students are worried that “Where will my center go?” But this time even before the process of making the center started, the board cleaning campaign Have started.

UP Secondary Education Council (UPMSP) has taken strict steps across the state. 769 schools has already been disqualified from the race to become the examination centre. Yes, these are those schools where there will be no board papers this year under any circumstances.

After all, why were these schools shown ‘red card’?
The board has not taken this decision out of the blue. These schools have been considered ‘tainted’ or derelict. If understood in simple language, there are some concrete reasons behind this:

1. History of duplication and error: Many of these schools are such where complaints of mass cheating were received in previous years or there was ruckus during the paper.
2. Falsification of papers: Some schools were found deficient in documents or did not have necessary facilities (like boundary wall, electricity, CCTV).
3. Schools with FIR: The schools where FIRs have been lodged against the management or principal for irregularities in the examination have been blacklisted by the board.

What will be the impact on students now?
Friends, this news may seem harsh to read, but it is actually good news for hardworking children.

• Control on copying mafia: When tainted school centers will not be built, the shops of copycats will be closed. With this, there will be no injustice to the children who study day and night and go to give their papers.
• Clean Centre: You are expected to find such centers where the atmosphere is conducive to learning and there are no unnecessary disturbances.

When will the center list be final?
The board has made it clear that the process of center allotment for the 2026 examination will be completely online and through software so that no recommendations are made. This process is currently going on and the final list will be released soon.

But at present it is certain that the center bell will not ring in these 769 schools. Stay focused on your studies, because the board is in ‘zero tolerance’ mood this time!
