The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has officially released the revised date sheet for the UP Board Exams 2026 for both Class 10 (High School) and Class 12 (Intermediate).
Earlier, the exams were scheduled to be held from February 14 to March 5, 2026, but due to adjustments in certain subjects and administrative reasons, the new schedule now extends from February 18 to March 12, 2026.

This change comes as UPMSP aims to ensure smooth conduct of exams across the state, with nearly 52.3 lakh students expected to appear this year — 27.5 lakh Class 10 students and 24.8 lakh Class 12 students.
To manage this massive participation, the board has initiated preparations to set up thousands of examination centres statewide, ensuring adequate security, fair invigilation, and efficient logistics.

Students are advised to take note of the revised dates and timings to align their preparation plans accordingly and avoid any confusion near exam days.
