UP Board Result 2025: Girls outshine boys in UPMSP Class 12 toppers list

Four girls have secured the top two spots in the Class 12 results of the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad exams 2025 declared today. 

Mehak Jaiswal with 97.20% is the topper while Sakshi, Shivani Singh and Anushka Singh have scored 96.80%. The only boy to figure on the second spot is Adarsh Yadav.

As for UP Board Class 10 results, the top spot was secured by Yash Pratap Singh who scored 97.83 per cent. The class 10 pass percentage is 90.11 per cent.

Details of class 12 were not immediately available as the board’s official website stopped working minutes after the results were declared at 12.20 pm.

In a first, the board results will be simultaneously stored in DigiLocker, complete with digital signatures. This means, students no longer have to collect physical mark sheets, though these will be available after a fortnight at the schools. Though the DigiLocker was first used in 2010, mark sheets have since been uploaded after a time lag of announcement of results.

While class 10 students can download their mark sheets from the DigiLocker by furnishing their roll number and date of birth; class 12 students will have to use their roll numbers and their mother’s name for access.

The physical marksheets this time come with enhanced security features. One of these is the use of microletters as watermarks which will be visible in in ultraviolet light. This watermark will not appear in any colour photocopies which might be made with the intent of creating fake mark sheets.

Of the 54,37,233 students who sat for the exams this time; 27,32,216 took the class 10 exam. This is slightly more than the 27,05,017 who took the class 12 exam.

Once notorious for cheating, this time a three-layer security cordon was put in place to nix chances of copying. Some three lakh CCTV cameras were positioned all over the state. High-resolution cameras were placed outside the strong rooms where question papers and answer sheets were stored. In addition, there were 2.91 lakh voice recording-enabled cameras fitted in 1.33 lakh classrooms across the state’s 8140 examination centres. There were 306 centres marked as hypersensitive while 692 were sensitive.
