The Uttar Pradesh Board is likely to declare class 10 and 12 examination result by the third week of April at upresults.nic.in.

This time, the UP Board results would be announced almost a month earlier as compared to the previous years. UPDATEUP Class 10th Board Results 2018 to be Announced Online Today

Neena Srivastava, UP Board secretary was quoted in media reports saying, “Since we started the exams from February 6, therefore the results will be out early. In 40-45 days, we have plans to publish both classes result. After evaluation, we will send copies for double-checking at our regional offices.” The UP Board experts expect to release the result by the third week of April.

The board may be keen in releasing the results as soon as possible but a proper evaluation and compilation of over 50 lakh students is a challenging task. Given the extent of the resources and the far reach of the board, officials expect the results to be out by the third week of April. In 2017, UP Board results were delayed to almost a month. The UP Board has taken sufficient steps this time to control any misconduct. To ensure transparency, CCTVs at the evaluation centres will be installed. Moreover, the board will also take up security forces during the evaluation process to keep the education mafias away. Here are the steps to check your class 10 and 12 exam results:
