Uttar Pradesh board examination evaluation process for class 10th and class 12th will begin from tomorrow, May 5th, according to Times of India. Earlier, it was reported the evaluation process will be conducted after the lockdown is lifted; however, the board is going ahead with the evaluation process even after the lockdown has been extended until May 17th.
The report adds the evaluation process will be conducted in 20 days in which around 3.1 crore answer sheets will be evaluated.
Proper COVID-19 precautions like social distancing, sanitising the area, wearing of a mask will be made mandatory during the evaluation process, according to the government orders. Nobody will be allowed to carry mobile phones in the evaluation centres, adds the report.
