What is UBSE 2026?

UBSE 2026 refers to the High School (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) board examinations conducted by the Uttarakhand Board of School Education for the academic year 2025-26. The board is commonly called the UK Board and has its headquarters in Ramnagar, Nainital district of Uttarakhand. UBSE was established in the year 2001 after the formation of the state.

The board is responsible for prescribing the syllabus, conducting the annual board exams, evaluating answer sheets and declaring results for affiliated schools across the 13 districts of Uttarakhand. UBSE also conducts practical exams, supplementary or compartment exams and improvement exams for the students who do not clear or wish to better their scores.

This year, the UBSE 2026 exams saw more than 2.16 lakh students appear across 1,261 centres. The Class 10 exams were held from February 23 to March 20, 2026 and the Class 12 exams were conducted from February 21 to March 20, 2026. The board declared both the results on April 25, 2026 at 10 AM. The Class 10 overall pass percentage stood at 92.10% and the Class 12 overall pass percentage was 85.11%.

UBSE follows the NCERT-based curriculum for both High School and Intermediate, with some state-specific topics such as Uttarakhand history and geography included. The board exam serves as the qualifying exam for higher secondary admissions, college admissions and many entry-level government job applications across Uttarakhand and other states.

UBSE 2026 Highlights

Here is a quick summary of the most important UBSE 2026 details you should know.

UBSE 2026 Toppers

The UBSE 2026 toppers were announced along with the result on 25 April 2026. Bageshwar district produced the toppers in both Class 10 and Class 12 this year, continuing its strong record from previous years.

UBSE Class 12 Toppers 2026

UBSE Class 10 Topper 2026

Akshat Gopal topped Class 10 with 98.20% marks. He becomes the new face of UBSE 2026 along with the Class 12 toppers.

UBSE 2026 Scrutiny & Photocopy of Answer Sheets

If you are not satisfied with your UBSE 2026 marks, you can apply for scrutiny (rechecking) or photocopy of your evaluated answer sheet. The Uttarakhand Vidyalayi Shiksha Parishad (UVSP) has already issued the notice for the 2026 board exam and the window is open.

Scrutiny is a careful recounting and re-totalling of your marks. The board checks whether all questions have been evaluated, marks have been correctly added and the entries in the mark list match the answer sheet. It is not a fresh re-evaluation of your answers.

Photocopy means you receive a scanned or printed copy of your own evaluated answer sheet, so you can see exactly how each question was marked. Many students apply for the photocopy first and then go for scrutiny if they spot an issue.

UBSE Scrutiny & Photocopy Fee

• Scrutiny / Re-evaluation Fee: Rs. 100 per question paper
• Photocopy Fee: As notified by UVSP, usually around Rs. 500 per answer sheet
• Payment Mode: e-challan at any State Bank of India treasury in Uttarakhand

How to Apply for UBSE Scrutiny & Photocopy

• Visit the official portal ubse.uk.gov.in and click on the scrutiny / photocopy application link.
• Enter your roll number, class and registration details.
• Select the subjects for which you want scrutiny or a photocopy.
• Pay the fee through the SBI e-challan and upload the original e-challan copy.

• Late fee applies if you apply after the standard deadline.

UBSE 2026 Preparation Tips

If you are going to appear for the UBSE 2027 exam or the upcoming UBSE 2026 improvement / compartment exam, these preparation tips can help you score better.

• Stick to NCERT: UBSE papers are mostly based on NCERT textbooks. Read each chapter carefully and solve all the in-text and back exercises.
• Practise past papers: Solve at least 5 years of UBSE previous year papers. This helps you understand the pattern, weightage and frequently asked question types.
• Make short notes: Write short, point-wise notes for every chapter. These are very useful for the final week revision.
• Focus on weak subjects: Give more time to subjects where you are weak, but do not ignore strong subjects either. Balance your timetable.
• Time your practice: Solve full sample papers in 3 hours to build exam-day speed and stamina.
• Revise diagrams and formulas: For Science and Maths, diagrams and formulas carry direct marks. Make a separate sheet for them and revise daily.
• Stay healthy: Sleep at least 7-8 hours, eat well and take short breaks during long study sessions.

If you are giving the compartment exam, focus mainly on the subjects you have to clear. Read the syllabus once again, identify the most scoring chapters and practise full-length papers within the 3-hour limit.
