Exam and participation schedule.
The UP Board Class 10 and Class 12 exams for the academic session 2025 to 26 were conducted from February 18 to March 12, 2026. The exams were conducted offline across the state. Each presentation lasted three hours and fifteen minutes.
The exams were carried out in two shifts. The morning shift ran from 8:30 am to 11:45 am, while the afternoon shift ran from 2 pm to 5:15 pm. This year, more than 52 lakh students registered for the exams and around 49.4 lakh students appeared.
Evaluation process
The evaluation process began on March 18, 2026. Initially, the board planned to complete the evaluation by April 1. However, delays were reported due to holidays, including Eid ul Fitr on March 21 and Ram Navami on March 26 and 27. After requests from testing centers, the board extended the deadline to April 4. The evaluation work has now been completed.
Around 1.5 lakh teachers revised nearly 3 million answer sheets across more than 250 centres. In the first two days alone, more than 21 lakh answer sheets were evaluated.
How to check the results
Students will be able to check their results on the official websites upresults.nic.in and upmsp.edu.in. The results will also be available on DigiLocker, the Unified Mobile App for New Age Governance (UMANG) and the Times of India (TOI) results portal.
Students can check their results by entering their roll number and captcha code. It is recommended to download and print the provisional mark sheet. Original mark sheets will be distributed by schools later.
Overcoming criteria and previous trends
Students must obtain at least 33 percent marks in each subject and overall to pass. Students who fail in more than two subjects must take the compartmental exams.
Last year, the pass percentage of Class 10 was 90.11 percent and Class 12 recorded 81.15 percent. The board will also publish the top list, district data, gender performance and other statistics along with the results.
The UPMSP has also issued an advisory warning students against cyber fraud and false result announcements. Students are advised to rely only on official sources for updates.
