As per a senior UP Board official, the proposal has been given to the state government stating the massive inflow of pilgrims who go to Mahakumbh scheduled in Prayagraj from January 13 to February 26, 2025.

It will begin with Paush Purnima Snan on January 13 and culminate with the last bath on February 26, Mahashivratri. The board is expecting logistic problems and excessive rush in Prayagraj during this time and hence might get affected while smoothly conducting the examinations.
