# UP Board provisional list of 181 exam centres in Jaunpur shows 12,768 fewer students 2026-10-28T03:57:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad has issued a provisional list of 181 examination centres for the UP Board exams in Jaunpur district, a reduction of 37 centres from 2025, when 218 centres were designated. Data for 142,334 students from 651 schools is on the portal, which is 12,768 fewer students than in 2025. Several funded schools have been excluded from the centre list, while some schools that do not meet standards have been added. Barasathi's Kisan Inter College Rasulha has also not been made a centre. The district inspector of schools, Devendra Singh, said the list is on the portal and objections can be uploaded until 28 October. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The provisional list has shunted some funded schools off the exam-centre list and put standard-violating schools on it, with 37 fewer centres this year and 12,768 fewer students than last. Affected school operators have until Wednesday, 28 October to upload objections through the portal. District inspector Devendra Singh has invited complaints, but the final centre list will determine how the remaining 142,334 students in 651 schools are distributed across just 181 centres, an arrangement likely to test administrative capacity on exam day. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Led with the drop of 37 centres and the gap of 12,768 students, and reported that several funded schools were left out while some substandard schools were added This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
