UP Board Result 2023: Former BJP MLA clears Class 12 exam

A former BJP MLA has cleared the class 12 board exam at the age of 55, securing 263 marks out of 500. Rajesh Mishra represented Bareilly district's Bithri-Chainpur seat in the assembly from 2017 to 2022.

The former MLA is now planning to pursue a bachelor's degree in law so that he can help the poor get justice.

However, Mishra is not satisfied with the marks he scored in three subjects and planning to get his answer sheets scrutinised.


"I am not satisfied with marks in drawing design, civics and education. I will get the answer sheets scrutinised," he told PTI.

He secured 57 marks in Hindi, 47 in Civics, 42 in Education, 36 in Drawing Design and 81 in Sociology.

Mishra told that two years ago, he cleared the class 10 board exam and now, he wants to pursue LLB so that he can help poor people get justice.

"When I was an MLA, I realised that people from the economically weaker sections of society do not get justice as they cannot avail the services of a good lawyer. I will be a lawyer for such people," he said.

The former legislator also asserted that there was no copying in the board examinations and invigilation was strict.

Director of Secondary Education Mahendra Dev on Tuesday said CCTV cameras with voice recorders were installed in 8,753 examination centres to ensure there was no cheating during the exam. This was the first time in the last 30 years that neither any question paper was leaked nor any wrong bundle of question papers was opened and as such there was no re-examination, Dev had added.
