UP Board Exam Admit Card Glitches Cause Student Anxiety in Kanpur
Technical glitches in admit cards have surfaced during the ongoing examinations conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad, creating significant anxiety among students from several unaided colleges in Kanpur district. The offline control room established at Government Inter College in Chunniganj has received multiple complaints regarding discrepancies in the subjects mentioned on these critical examination documents.
Widespread Subject Mismatches Reported
According to numerous students, several candidates who studied Mathematics throughout their entire academic session were shocked to find Biology listed as their subject on their official admit cards. Similarly, some female students who had diligently prepared for Home Science examinations were surprised to discover Mathematics printed on their hall tickets instead. These errors have created confusion and stress during the crucial examination period that began on February 18.
Primary Issues Concentrated in Unaided Colleges
Most of these discrepancies have been reported specifically from unaided colleges across the district. In one written complaint, a girl student from Uday Bharti Inter College detailed how despite studying Mathematics during her complete academic session, her admit card incorrectly listed Biology as her examination subject. Officials at the control room have confirmed receiving similar complaints involving various subject mismatches on a regular basis since the examinations commenced.
Education Department Response and Root Causes
Education department authorities have explained that the Board provided multiple opportunities to schools to correct details in examination forms before final submission. However, some colleges allegedly failed to make the necessary corrections, resulting in these problematic situations for students. Sources indicate that many affected institutions submitted their forms through contractual arrangements, and discrepancies in such cases have led to complications that could potentially result in withheld examination results.
Official Guidance for Affected Students
District Inspector of Schools Santosh Kumar Rai has advised students facing such technical glitches to submit a written application to their respective centre superintendent. This application should clearly mention the subject they actually studied during the academic session. He emphasized that students will still be allowed to appear in their examinations despite these discrepancies and will later need to complete a prescribed correction form issued by the Board.
Rai added that concerted efforts will be made to ensure the academic year of affected students is not negatively impacted by these administrative errors. The education department is working to resolve these issues promptly while maintaining examination integrity and student welfare as top priorities during this critical assessment period.
