UP Board Practical Exam 2026 Update


Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has announced a crucial update for students in Class 12 regarding the UP Board Practical Exam 2026. As the practical exams draw near, the board has proactively issued roll numbers for Intermediate students. These roll numbers are now accessible through the official system to facilitate the smooth execution of the practical exams.


Exam Dates and Schedule

According to UPMSP, the Class 12 practical exams will occur in two phases from January 24, 2026, to February 9, 2026. These practical assessments will precede the main board examinations, which are set to commence on February 18, 2026.


The practical exams will encompass 53 subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Agriculture, Home Science, among others. This year, approximately 21,74,326 Intermediate students are registered to participate in these practical assessments statewide.


Roll Numbers Issued Prior to Admit Cards

In a notable decision, UPMSP has released roll numbers for students ahead of the admit cards. This initiative, directed by UP Board Secretary Bhagwati Singh, aims to ensure proper assessment during the practical exams.


The roll numbers have been uploaded to the official UPMSP portal (upmsp.edu.in) and communicated to district education authorities. The admit cards for both practical and theory exams are anticipated to be available by January 30, 2026.


Accessing Roll Numbers

Students will not need to download their roll numbers from the website. Instead, these numbers have been distributed through official channels to ensure accuracy.


Students can access their roll numbers through the following methods:



  • Roll numbers have been provided to District School Inspectors (DIOS).


  • DIOS offices have shared these roll numbers with respective schools.


  • Schools will then distribute roll numbers directly to students.



Students are encouraged to reach out to their school administration for their roll number details, as these numbers are crucial for the examiners to allocate marks accurately.


Exam Centers and Evaluation Process

For the initial phase of practical exams, UP Board has set up 7,401 examination centers throughout Uttar Pradesh. To ensure transparency and efficiency, 9,075 external examiners have been appointed.


This year, a significant enhancement is the introduction of a monitoring system. The board has mandated that practical examinations be conducted under CCTV surveillance to uphold fairness, prevent malpractice, and ensure consistent evaluation standards across all centers.


Class 10 Internal Assessment Marks Update

In addition to the Intermediate updates, UPMSP has also opened the portal for uploading internal assessment marks for Class 10. School principals are required to upload these marks online using roll numbers.


For Class 10 students:



  • Internal assessment consists of 30 marks per subject.


  • Grades for sports and moral education must also be submitted.



For Class 12 students:



  • Physical Education and Sports will have 50 marks for written + 50 marks for practical.


  • Schools must ensure accurate mark uploads to avoid discrepancies.



Total Roll Numbers Released for 2026 Board Exams

UPMSP has confirmed that roll numbers for a total of 52,30,297 students participating in the 2026 board exams have been issued on the school portal.


This includes:



  • 27,50,945 High School (Class 10) students.


  • 24,79,352 Intermediate (Class 12) students.



This early release is expected to streamline both exam preparation and administrative processes.
