Mathura: Mass cheating in Uttar Pradesh Board Examinations; English paper postponed

Mathura: With mass cheating incidents in the Uttar Pradesh Board Examinations being reported from two centres in Mathura, the English paper exam was postponed on Tuesday.

The UP Board is yet to announce the next schedule of the English paper.

The administration has released a WhatsApp number 9454457241 for registering cheating related complaints in order to check incidents of cheating in UP Board Exams.

Earlier this month, students were seen copying and taking help from outside at several centres in Mathura during Uttar Pradesh Board Examinations for Classes X and XII, following which over 70 students and teachers were been booked.

Pictures and videos showed friends and relatives of the students scaling walls and passing chits through windows at the exam centre.

Last year, scores of students were expelled after being caught cheating during the Intermediate Examination in Vaishali in Bihar.
