The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) is set to release the exam date sheet for Classes 10 (High School) and 12 (Intermediate) for the academic year 2025-26 in November 2025. According to board updates and education-portals, the theory exams are expected to be held in the February–March 2026 window, while the practical examinations will take place in the late January to early February 2026 period.
Timeline & Key Schedule for UP Board Exams 2026
The board’s official timeline outlines important dates and tentative event windows for the upcoming exam cycle:
The board has asked schools and students to monitor the official website (upmsp.edu.in) for the date sheet PDF and further instructions.
What This Means for Students?
With the schedule now clarified in outline, students appearing in Classes 10 and 12 can begin structured revision and time-table planning ahead of the formal date sheet release. Key points include:
- Practical exams being scheduled earlier (late January–early February) suggest students must complete lab work and projects well in advance.
- Theory exams spanning February–March giving a rough 4-5 weeks lead from date-sheet to exam start.
- Use of the upcoming date sheet to map revision blocks, rest periods, and buffer days.
- Schools should coordinate internal pre-boards aligning with the board’s announced calendar.
Preparatory Tips for Students
- Await the official PDF, but start early: revise core concepts in key subjects for both streams.
- Manage practical work: ensure all submissions, workflows and experiments for both classes are completed by early January.
- Keep track of the two-shift exam format (morning/afternoon) which has been the norm in past cycles.
- Stay updated on official board portal announcements and avoid relying only on third-party information.
