The UP Board is yet to announce the schedule for the 2025 high school and intermediate examinations to start from February 2025 and is currently busy identifying schools to become examination centres.

A maximum of 2000 students will appear for their examination per center. Last year, there was a rule to allot a maximum of 1200 students in each centre, but in government-run and government-aided secondary schools of larger capacity, a provision was made to create an examination center for up to 1500 students. However, in the center determination policy sent by UP administrative secretary Bhagwati Singh to the District Inspectors of Schools (DIOS) for the 2025 edition of the exams, a provision has been made to create a center for up to 2000 students in government-funded run schools. , government-aided and non-subsidized secondary schools with larger reception capacity.

It is believed that this will reduce the number of examination centers and also facilitate better monitoring of board examinations.

The minimum number of students in each exam center remains unchanged from last year: 250.
