Preparations are underway for the Uttar Pradesh Board's High School and Intermediate practical examinations 2025. This year, major changes have been introduced to ensure greater transparency and accountability.

The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) is implementing measures like video recording of viva sessions and mandatory marking via an app, making it impossible for examiners to assign arbitrary marks. The UPMSP practical exams for High School and Intermediate are slated to be held from February 1 to 16, 2025.

The first phase was conducted from February 1st to 8th, 2025, while the second phase will take place from February 9th to 16th, 2025. The boards involved in the first phase are Aligarh, Meerut, Moradabad, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Mirzapur, Varanasi, and Gorakhpur, while the boards in the second phase include Agra, Saharanpur, Bareilly, Lucknow, Jhansi, Chitrakoot, Ayodhya, Azamgarh, Devipatan, and Basti.

Changes in UP Board Practical Examination 2025

Numerous major changes have been introduced in the way how UPMSP practical exams 2025 will be conducted. As per reports, some of the notable changes and essential alterations are mentioned below:

1. Video Recording of Viva

For the first time, UPMSP viva sessions during practical exams will be video recorded. This ensures that students’ performance is fairly evaluated, and any discrepancies can be reviewed later. The recordings will be sent directly to the UP Board for verification.

2. Mandatory App-Based Marking

Examiners will now have to input marks through a dedicated app that will only function within the school premises. This step eliminates the possibility of examiners marking students from home or outside the examination centre.

3. Involvement of Principals

School principals will play a pivotal role in this process by assisting in uploading viva recordings and ensuring adherence to the new guidelines.

UPMSP Practical Exam Schedule for Class 10 and 12

The UPMSP practical exams will be held in two phases from February 1 to 16, 2025. The region-wise Phase 1 and Phase 2 practical exam details are mentioned below:

Some Other Measures Undertaken by Examination Centres to Ensure Transparency of Events

• CCTV cameras with voice recorders have been installed on both sides of the entrance gate. Allocation of strong and secure rooms for storing question papers and answer booklets, and the sealing/packing rooms have been done.
• The schools have designated a separate, secure room that is equipped with CCTV cameras (with night vision capabilities), and voice recorders, to ensure the security and confidentiality of question papers, including any unused extra question papers. This room has been made distinct from the principal's office and will not be used for any activities other than the safekeeping and handling of question papers.
• The strong room is also equipped with two iron double-lock cabinets to securely store the question papers for each shift. Also, one extra double-lock cabinet is being provided for any unused question papers, bringing the total number of iron double-lock cabinets to three.
• A separate operational room equipped with CCTV cameras has been arranged for the proper storage of answer booklets, including iron cabinets or trunk boxes as required.
• The schools have been asked to ensure a permanent electricity supply. For uninterrupted examinations and webcasting, alternative arrangements such as a generator and inverter are also asked to be in place.
