PRAYAGRAJ, Dec. 22 -- To curb the entry of fake examiners in the Uttar Pradesh Board's 2026 High School and Intermediate examinations, the Board has decided to issue photo identity cards to all invigilators and circulate photo-based lists of invigilation staff to every examination centre. This two-level verification mechanism is intended to ensure the integrity and credibility of the Board examinations. UP Board secretary Bhagwati Singh said that photographs of all invigilators appointed for the 2026 examinations will be printed on their issued identity cards as well as on the official invigilator lists provided to each centre superintendent. He added that invigilators will be permitted to enter the examination centre only after the superintendent verifies and matches the photograph on the ID card with the one on the official list. The move comes after the detection of 16 fake invigilators at various examination centres across the state during the 2025 exams. Singh said this incident prompted the Board to introduce identity cards for all invigilators. HTC...
