The board had invited offline applications from district inspectors of schools till December 20 through regional offices of Prayagraj, Meerut, Varanasi, Bareilly and Gorakhpur for amending any errors detected in subjects or genders of students, set to appear in the UP Board’s high school and intermediate examination-2024, uploaded on the designated portal by the schools concerned.

Cases of amendment in the details of the candidates were sought by calling DIoS office and schools from the regional offices.
