Our Analysis – As per our analysis, this number is not genuine and is being circulated falsely. This number was last seen online at 10:45 AM today, 30th March. Its not possible that UP government did not receive any complains by 8:15 PM ie. Within 9 hours time span. We googled for the relevance of this news and found the below article being published by India today - http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/board-exam-2017-up-dial-this-number-to-register-complaints/1/914624.html
