Evaluation process completed
UPMSP has successfully completed the evaluation of answer sheets for the 2026 board examinations. Nearly 3 crore answer sheets of more than 52 lakh students were assessed between March 18 and April 1, 2026. Around 1.5 lakh teachers were deployed across over 250 evaluation centres. In the first two days alone, more than 21 lakh answer sheets were evaluated.
Earlier, the board had extended the evaluation deadline to April 4, 2026. The extension was granted after delays caused by public holidays including Eid-ul-Fitr on March 21 and Ram Navami on March 26 and 27. Several evaluation centres requested additional time, following which the board approved the extension.

The UP Board examinations for Class 10 and Class 12 were conducted between February 18 and March 12, 2026 in offline mode.
