# UP: No exam centres at unaided schools for Sanskrit Board 2026-10-29T20:06:33+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Sanskrit Shiksha Parishad has issued a new policy for the allocation of examination centres for its board exams. Under the new rules, only government and government-aided schools will be allowed to serve as centres for the Purva Madhyama Dwitiya (High School) and Uttar Madhyama Dwitiya (Intermediate) examinations. Unaided (vitthihin) schools will not be made exam centres. To curb cheating, the board exams will be held under the strict surveillance of CCTV cameras. The decision was announced on Thursday, 29 October. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The decision directly affects unaided Sanskrit schools, which will no longer host board exams, potentially forcing their students to travel to government or aided centres. By limiting centres to government and aided institutions and mandating CCTV surveillance, the board aims to tighten oversight after past cheating incidents. The policy leaves unresolved how capacity constraints at the remaining centres will be managed, particularly in rural areas where unaided schools are common. The next step is implementation of the new centre-allocation process for the upcoming board exams. ## Coverage - amarujala.com Straight policy announcement, no commentary.
