Over 1.8 lakh students miss UP Board exam on 1st day
Over 1.8 lakh students missed the first day of class X and XII Uttar Pradesh Board examinations on Tuesday, Deputy Director of Education Vikas Srivastava said. Education department officials said the low attendance was caused by the anti-cheating techniques adopted by the state. The state had introduced CCTV cameras in examination halls and created a task force to monitor students.
