UP Board removes SR, TC upload requirement for registration of students
Prayagraj: In a welcome move for schools and educators, the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Board (UP Board) withdrew the mandatory requirement of uploading photos of the Scholar Register (SR) and Transfer Certificate (TC) during the advance registration process for Class 9 and Class 11 students. This decision follows persistent demands by school managements and teacher associations who raised concerns about the security of confidential documents. Earlier this year, the UP Board introduced new guidelines for advance registration of students who will appear in the 2027 high school and intermediate board examinations. For the first time, schools were asked to upload a permanent education number (PEN) along with images of either the SR or TC. While the Board already dropped the requirement of PEN on July 15, the SR/TC photo upload clause remained active until now. Teachers and school administrators argued that the process of uploading sensitive documents was risky, especially since most school principals use private cybercafes for online registration. They pointed out that SR and TC documents are official and confidential, and taking them outside the school premises could pose serious security threats. Acknowledging these concerns, the UP Board has now removed the photo upload option from its registration portal. Currently, advance registration for the 2025-26 academic session and exam form submission for Classes 10 and 12 is ongoing in more than 28,000 UP Board-affiliated schools. The deadline for submission is August 5. However, due to ongoing flood conditions in Prayagraj and several other districts, an extension of the deadline is considered likely. In previous years, similar weather disruptions led the Board to extend key dates.
