In 2019, the result was announced on April 27 in the shortest possible time of 89 days as the examination started on February 7. This time the examinations were conducted after February 16 and the results were declared in a total of 67 days, the spokesperson added.

Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) aka UP Board exams began on February 16, one day after Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exams but UP Board results were released prior to that of CBSE even though UP Board has many times more students than those of CBSE.

Board secretary Dibyakant Shukla said that the Board of Secondary Education has set a record by declaring the results in the shortest period of time in the history of 100 years. He said after the formation of the board in 1921, the first board examination was conducted in 1923. Since then, the board has declared the result in the shortest possible time.

Some results used to be incomplete in the past for a variety of reasons. He said the grievance cell will address the issues of students after the results were announced. At the regional office level, grievance cells have been established and will begin to operate in the following week, he added. The issues of the students who submit applications will be dealt with here within the allotted time. After Monday, the work of the scrutiny of applications will begin, Shukla said.

Answer sheets evaluation done ahead of schedule

UP Board also created another record in the evaluation of answer sheets. Chairman, UP Board, Mahendra Dev said this time the evaluation work started on March 18. For the work, 258 centres were set up in the state in which a total of 3.19 crore answer sheets were to be evaluated.

For this, 1,43,933 examiners were appointed. The date for completion of the evaluation of answer sheets was fixed at April 1 but the board completed the evaluation a day earlier. This was also a record, Dev said.
