All students in 150 schools fail in UP Board Exams this year

Lucknow : All students in at least 150 schools in Uttar Pradesh failed in recently concluded Board Exams. Following the development, the schools have been asked to explain the situation to the board.

As per official records, 98 schools had 0% result in class X and 52 in class XII.

Secretary, UPSEB, Neena Srivastava told TOI, "This year strict measures were adopted by the state government to check copying. Apart from it, there is a possibility of only a dozen or so students appearing from such schools so we will decide on the fate of all such educational institutes when the board will reopen."

She further said, "The board will analyse the results and after it explanation could be sought from principals of these schools in case of a negative report."

This year, UPSEB had declared 50 out of 75 districts as sensitive.
