UP Board has been infamous for mass misconduct during exams in the past. The government in past few years has taken several measures to check cheating during exam.
As a result of strict measures taken to stop students from misconduct, UP Board has seen many student drop out of exams altogether after appearing for the first exam.
Some of the measures taken by the UP administration last year included CCTV cameras and voice recorders at the exam centres. The administration also identified hyper-sensitive exam centres and had extra steps taken to avoid any misdemeanor at these centres.
