The online process of allotting examination centres for the 2027 UP Board high school and intermediate examinations has come under scrutiny after 48 schools that figured in last year’s list were dropped from the proposed centres this time.
The list released by the UP Board on October 26 proposes 269 examination centres in Prayagraj district, compared to 258 in 2026. 59 new schools have been included While 210 of last year’s centres have been retained. There have also been complaints of pressure being exerted on self-financed schools to extend undue benefits to certain quarters, even after their names were included in the UP Board’s first-phase centre allocation list. Among the government and government-aided institutions dropped this year are Majidia Islamia Inter College, Crosthwaite Girls Inter College, Radha Rama-Daraganj, Mahila Gram-Subedarganj, Lala Ram Lal Agarwal-Sirsa, Zila Panchayat Girls Inter College-Sirsa, MS Inter College-Meja, Shukulpur Inter College, Nand Kishore Inter College-Sohgaura and GGIC-Mungari in Karchhana, among others.
UP Board secretary Bhagwati Singh said the examination centres had been finalised online on the basis of reports submitted by tehsil-level verification committees constituted by the district magistrate.
