This year, the exam pattern may be different. The papers will be divided into two parts – multiple-choice questions and subjective questions. About 30 per cent of the question paper, or the first section of 20 marks, will consist of multiple-choice questions, to be answered by the candidates on the OMR sheet. The second part, carrying 70 per cent or 50 marks, will consist of descriptive questions to be answered on conventional paper.

Meanwhile, the UPMSP has taken several measures to stop cheating in board exams. The answer sheets in the board exams this time will be stitched to stop rigging by changing the copies of meritorious students. The UP board has decided to send stitched answer sheets to all 75 districts of the state. Earlier, several cases of children changing the answer sheets were found. Those who were quick in reading used to take out the cover of the copy of the meritorious students and put it on the copy of weak children, by taking money from the students. The pages of the copies found in the board exams are stapled due to which it was easier to remove them. Now it will be stitched.
