PRAYAGRAJ, Feb. 20 -- With a view to ensuring that UP Board's Class 10 and 12 students reach their examination centres on time in six districts in the wake of huge rush of devotees going for Mahakumbh, the state government has decided to put in place special corridors for hassle-free movement of students in crowd-affected Prayagraj, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Mirzapur, Chitrakoot and Mathura districts.

As many as 5,47,083 Class 10 and 12 students will be writing their exams at 836 centres in these districts. UP Board 2025 examinations are slated to begin from February 24 while the Prayagraj Mahakumbh will formally end on February 26. The special corridor arrangements will remain in effect till the mega fair rush subsides, said officials.
