The Office of the Secretary, Board of Secondary Education, Uttar Pradesh (UPMSP), Prayagraj, has officially announced the comprehensive schedule for the UP Board 2026 Intermediate (Class 12th) practical examinations. This crucial notification is designed to ensure that all students, schools, and external examiners across the state are informed well in advance, promoting transparent and organized conduct across all divisions. The structured timetable is vital for the smooth functioning of the examination process.

To manage the logistics of examinations across the state's vast network of educational institutions, the practical schedule has been divided into two distinct phases. This phase-wise approach ensures sufficient resources and personnel are available. Crucially, the schedule has been intentionally designed to avoid any conflict with the UP TET written examination, with schools mandated to declare academic holidays on January 29 and 30 to honor this separation.

The Intermediate practical examinations for General and Vocational streams will be held over a two-week period in January and February 2026.

  • Individual Candidates: Students appearing as individual candidates for the Intermediate examinations must coordinate directly with the principal of their forwarding centre to ensure their timely appearance for the practicals.

Online Mark Submission Portal

A dedicated online portal will be utilized for the efficient submission of assessment marks to the board.

  • Portal Activation: The online portal on the Council’s official website, upmsp.edu.in, will become operational from January 10, 2026.

  • High School (Class 10) Mark Uploads: Principals will upload marks for the following internal assessments:

    • Practical examinations

    • Moral, Yoga, Sports, and Physical Education

  • Intermediate (Class 12) Mark Uploads: Marks for Intermediate Moral, Yoga, Sports, and Physical Education will also be uploaded via the official UPMSP website.

This structured and comprehensive schedule released by the UPMSP for the 2026 Intermediate practical examinations is a crucial step toward a smooth and equitable examination process. By dividing the examinations into two phases (Phase I: January 24 – February 1 and Phase II: February 2 – February 9), the Board has streamlined logistical operations across all divisions. The clear guidelines regarding mandatory CCTV surveillance underscore the commitment to maintaining examination integrity. Furthermore, the inclusion of a dedicated online portal for mark submission, operational from January 10, 2026, ensures the timely and efficient reporting of scores for both practicals and internal assessments. Students and school authorities are advised to adhere strictly to these dates and guidelines, including the observance of academic holidays on January 29 and 30, to facilitate the successful completion of the UP Board 2026 examinations.
