The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has revised the UP Board Class 10 and 12 exam dates for Prayagraj due to the ongoing MahaKumbh 2025. As per the latest update from the State Minister of Secondary Education, Gulab Devi, the board exams initially scheduled for February 24, 2025, will now take place on March 9, 2025 (Sunday).

Reason for UP Board Exam 2025 Rescheduling

The decision to postpone the exams was made in light of the MahaKumbh, which is expected to attract millions of devotees to Prayagraj. The large influx of pilgrims and heavy traffic congestion during this period could create logistical challenges, affecting students' ability to reach exam centers safely. The authorities took this step to ensure a smooth examination process and maintain public safety.

Revised UP Board Exam Dates 2025 for Prayagraj

With this change, the UP Board Class 10 and 12 exams in Prayagraj will now commence on February 28, 2025, and conclude on March 12, 2025.

Subjects Affected by the Exam Postponement

The following subjects have been rescheduled from February 24 to March 9, 2025:

• Class 10: Hindi, Primary Hindi, and Healthcare

• Class 12: Military Science, Hindi, and General Hindi

The exams were originally set to take place in two shifts: morning (8:30 AM - 11:45 AM) and afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:15 PM). However, the rescheduling was necessary due to Mahashivratri on February 26, which is expected to see a massive turnout of pilgrims, leading to potential traffic and safety concerns.
