Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP), Prayagraj has postponed the class 10 and 12 board exams due to the Panchayat elections. The examinations were earlier scheduled to be held from April 24, however, the same will now be conducted in May. CBSE, CISCE, and other boards have also postponed their exams to be held in May-June due to the pandemic.
The UP panchayat elections are scheduled to be held in four phases on April 15, 19, 26, and 29. State deputy CM Dinesh Sharma had earlier said that the panchayat elections require more staff for which school teachers are deputy on duty hence it would lead to a change in Board Exam Dates.
“Teachers’ duties are also imposed in the elections, so the Election Commission had requested to change the dates of the examination,” Sharma had said at Lucknow University earlier.
The UP Board examinations will now start from May 8 and conclude by May 30.
