UP Board Compartment Exam 2026 registration is open from June 6 to June 27, 2026 — students who scored E1 grade (21–32 marks) in up to two subjects in Class 10, or in exactly one subject in Class 12, are eligible to apply at upmsp.edu.in.
Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) conducts the compartment exam every year to give students a second chance at earning their passing certificate without repeating the full academic year. The key factor determining your eligibility is your grade in the failed subject — only E1 grade holders qualify. Students who received an E2 grade must re-appear in the full main exam the following year.
- Registration window: June 6 to June 27, 2026 — apply immediately at upmsp.edu.in
- Class 10: E1 grade (21–32 marks) in 1 or 2 subjects — compartment allowed in one subject only
- Class 12: E1 grade in exactly 1 subject — not eligible if failed in 2 or more
- E2 grade (0–20 marks) in any subject means you are NOT eligible for the compartment exam
- Minimum passing marks: 33% in each component (theory and practical assessed independently)
- Registration fee: ₹256.50 per subject for Class 10 students

UP Board Compartment Exam 2026 Eligibility Overview
The eligibility conditions differ between Class 10 and Class 12. The most important factor is your grade in the failed subject. Only students with an E1 grade in the failed paper are allowed to sit the compartment exam. The table below compares the conditions for both classes.
| Eligibility Condition | Class 10 (High School) | Class 12 (Intermediate) |
|---|---|---|
| Number of subjects failed | 1 or 2 | Exactly 1 |
| Grade required in failed subject | E1 (21–32 marks out of 100) | E1 (21–32 marks out of 100) |
| Subjects allowed in compartment exam | 1 subject only | 1 subject |
| E2 grade (0–20 marks) in any subject | Not eligible for compartment | Not eligible for compartment |
| 3 or more subjects failed | Not eligible — must repeat year | Not eligible — must repeat year |
E1 and E2 Grades in UP Board 2026: What They Mean
UPMSP uses a letter-grade system to classify performance in each subject. Your grade in the failed subject is what determines whether you can appear for the compartment exam or must repeat the academic year.
| Grade | Marks Range (out of 100) | Compartment Exam Eligibility |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D | 33–100 | Passed — no compartment needed |
| E1 | 21–32 | Eligible for compartment exam |
| E2 | 0–20 | Not eligible — must repeat full year |
If your marksheet shows an E1 grade in a subject, you fell just short of the 33% passing mark and can attempt the compartment exam. An E2 grade indicates a significantly low score in that subject — UPMSP does not permit the compartment route in this case.
Minimum Marks Required to Pass UP Board 2026
The minimum passing mark in every UP Board subject is 33% of the total marks. For subjects that carry separate theory and practical components, you must independently clear the 33% threshold in both — a strong practical score cannot compensate for a failed theory paper.
| Component | Total Marks | Minimum Marks to Pass |
|---|---|---|
| Theory only (e.g., Hindi, Social Science) | 100 | 33 |
| Theory (for subjects with practical component) | 70 | 23 |
| Practical | 30 | 10 |
| Combined (Theory + Practical) | 100 | 33 |
UP Board Class 10 Compartment Exam 2026: Eligibility and Rules
Class 10 (High School) students have a slightly broader eligibility window. If you failed in one or two subjects but received an E1 grade in them, you can appear for the compartment exam. However, even if you hold E1 in two failed subjects, you may only sit the compartment exam in one subject.
- Failed in 1 subject with E1 grade: eligible — appear for that subject
- Failed in 2 subjects with E1 grades: eligible — but can appear in one subject only
- Failed in any subject with E2 grade (0–20 marks): not eligible for compartment
- Failed in 3 or more subjects: not eligible — must repeat Class 10
- Clearing the compartment exam earns the Class 10 passing certificate and allows Class 11 admission
- Registration fee: ₹256.50 per subject
UP Board Class 12 Compartment Exam 2026: Eligibility and Rules
The eligibility rule for Class 12 (Intermediate) is stricter than for Class 10. You qualify for the compartment exam only if you failed in exactly one subject with an E1 grade. Failing in two or more subjects — or holding an E2 grade in even one subject — makes you ineligible.
- Failed in exactly 1 subject with E1 grade: eligible for the Class 12 compartment exam
- Failed in 2 or more subjects: not eligible — re-appear in the full board exam next year
- Science students must score 23 out of 70 in theory and 10 out of 30 in practical independently
- Passing the compartment exam earns the Class 12 certificate required for college admissions
- College admission deadlines vary — apply to colleges promptly once compartment results are declared
