UP Boaard: New Record Set By Completing Board Examination In 12 Days

Prayagraj: The UP Secondary Education Board has set a new record by completing the world’s largest board examination in 2024 in 12 working days.

According to Divyakant Shukla, secretary of the UP Secondary Education Board, only forty-eight students were caught cheating, and the number of impersonators too was the lowest at 37.
