The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has officially announced the examination centre list for the crucial 2026 High School (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) board examinations. This critical update allows lakhs of registered students across the state to know their designated exam venue well in advance.
How to Check and Challenge Your Exam Centre
Students who will be appearing for the UP board exams can now access the complete list by visiting the board's official website, upmsp.edu.in. The board has also provided a direct link to download the list for future reference.
Recognising that the initial allocation might not be convenient for everyone, UPMSP has opened an objection window. Students dissatisfied with their allotted centre have the opportunity to submit an online objection. The deadline for this is December 22, 2025.
For those facing difficulties with the online process, the alternative is to inform their respective school authorities. It is important to note that any objection raised must be supported by reasonable evidence to be considered by the board for a possible change.
Key Details of the UP Board Exam Centres 2026
The final list published by the Uttar Pradesh board is extensive, detailing a total of 7,448 examination centres spread across all districts of the state. This massive arrangement is being made to accommodate the enormous number of candidates expected to take the exams.
Students are strongly advised to carefully verify the list specific to their district as published on the portal. Confirming the exact location of the centre early helps in planning travel and avoiding last-minute confusion on the exam day.
Important Dates and Next Steps for Students
The UP Board 2026 theory examinations are scheduled to be held from February 18 to March 12, 2026. Prior to this, practical examinations for Class 12 students will be conducted in two phases:
- Phase 1: January 24 to February 1, 2026
- Phase 2: January 29 and 30, 2026
The next major document students must watch for is the hall ticket or admit card. The board authorities will issue these for both classes 10 and 12 likely in late January or early February 2026, following past trends.
Once released, students can download their admit card by logging into the official UPMSP website using their school-issued registration details. It is crucial to download the PDF, check all personal and exam details for accuracy, and take a printout. Any discrepancy found must be reported to the school authorities immediately, as the admit card is a mandatory entry ticket to the examination hall.
With the centre list now public, students should focus on their final preparations while keeping an eye on the official website for further updates regarding admit cards and any schedule changes.
