Rajeev Krishna, Chairman of UPPRPB, shared that candidates who achieved the same cut-off marks have also been included in the merit list for the next stage. He encouraged all candidates to check their results on the official UPPRPB website using their registration or exam roll number.

The recruitment process, known for its large scale, was executed with unprecedented measures to guarantee fairness and transparency. This included utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to randomize and classify a question bank of 15,000 questions, ensuring balanced difficulty. The examination also used eight different question paper series to prevent cheating among candidates sitting nearby.

AI-enabled CCTV cameras, GPS tracking, and secure transportation of materials were some of the advanced security protocols in place. The authorities also took action against individuals associated with cheating mafias and solver gangs, with a comprehensive list of suspects compiled before the exam.
