UP Board Adds Student Signatures to Admit Cards
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) is adding student signatures to admit cards for Class 10 and 12 board exams starting from 2027.
This new measure aims to prevent cheating and impersonation by matching the signature on the admit card with the student's signature on the answer sheet and attendance register.
The board is collecting students' signatures along with their photographs during the ongoing registration process.
The registration deadline is August 5, and the verification deadline is September 30.
This move comes after several cases of impersonation were reported in previous exams.
UPMSP will print student signatures on Class 10 and 12 admit cards starting from 2027.
Signatures will be matched with those on answer sheets and attendance registers.
The measure aims to prevent impersonation and ensure a fair examination process.
Registration deadline for students is August 5, with a late fee deadline of August 16.
School principals must upload educational details and examination fee information by August 16 and submit the photograph-based list of registered students and treasury sheet by September 30.
