The Uttarakhand Vidhyalayi Shiksha Parishad (UVSP), Ramnagar is gearing up for online submission of application forms for the examinations organised by it.
The UVSP called Uttarakhand board in popular parlance conducts the class X and XII examination of schools affiliated under it.
Apart from these examinations the duty of successful conduction of examinations likes Uttarakhand- Teachers Eligibility Test (U-TET) and Diploma In Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.) is also on the UVSP.
In a recent order, the State Government had directed the UVSP to undertake a process of digitisation of its data.
The board would take the services of National Informatics Centre (NIC) for updating the software and data so that the onerous task of digitization and online submission of examination forms can be initiated.
Confirming the development, the Secretary of UVSP, R D Sharma said that the board is planning to start the online submission of examination forms for the examinations conducted by it from next year.
He said that in all probability the students would have to submit online applications for the next U –TET and D.El.Ed examinations conducted by the UVSP.
It is worth mentioning here that lakhs of students enroll themselves for the class X and XII board examinations conducted by the UVSP.
Similarly large numbers of candidates apply for the UTET and D.El.Ed examination of UVSP. The online application and data digitalization would mean more transparency in the functioning of the board.
Further the board would save manpower and time by adopting this measure.
The process of online submission of application forms is being followed successfully by many state boards and the examination bodies.
