The highest students who dropped out was in year 2016 but this year it is even more than that. 6.5 Lakh students were absent in 2016 but this year it is 10 Lakh. The Yogi Adityanath government has deployed Special Task Force (STF) and Local Intelligence (LIU) sleuths in plainclothes at the examination centers to check copying. Not only CCTV has been installed but also special staff has been alloted for the checking.
