UP Board Evaluation: Dates & Assessment Plan
The evaluation schedule outlines when and how the answer sheets will be checked by appointed teachers and examiners
- Exams Concluded: 12 March 2026
- Evaluation Begins: 18 March 2026
- Evaluation Ends: Expected by early April 2026
- Evaluation Centres: 250+ centres across Uttar Pradesh

The board has asked teachers to strictly follow protocols and has barred the use of mobile phones and electronic devices during the evaluation process. External visitors are not allowed inside evaluation centres to maintain integrity.
Step Marking Introduced for Fair Evaluation
For the first time, the UPMSP is adopting a step marking system similar to some national boards. In this system, students can receive partial credit for correct steps in problem‑solving answers, particularly in subjects such as mathematics and science. This approach aims to deliver a more nuanced and fair assessment of student responses. Step marking is expected to help improve accuracy and reflect students’ understanding better than traditional marking schemes.
What Students Should Know?
While the evaluation process gets underway, students and parents should keep the following points in mind:
- Results for both Class 10 and Class 12 are expected later in April 2026 after completion of the evaluation process.
- Official result links will be activated on the UPMSP official portals once evaluation is complete.
- Students should regularly check upmsp.edu.in or the designated result portals for announcements.
Students awaiting their results following the board exams can plan accordingly and stay updated via official announcements on the evaluation progress and result declaration timelines.
