UP Board Practical Exams 2026: Control Room Monitoring to Curb Cheating

• UP Board introduces direct control room monitoring for 10th and 12th practical exams from 2026 to prevent cheating.
• Control rooms are being established in all 75 districts, with examples like Government Inter College, Agra, expected by January 15.
• Unlike previous years where only main exams were monitored, practical exams will now be under live CCTV surveillance.
• Schools must submit user IDs and passwords for their CCTV systems to the control rooms for direct oversight.
• Practical exams are scheduled in two phases: Jan 24-Feb 1 (Phase 1) and Feb 2-Feb 9 (Phase 2).

Why It Matters: UP Board implements strict control room monitoring for practical exams to ensure fair, cheat-free assessments.
