UP Board Compartment Exam 2026: Registration Open till June 27, Eligibility and Admit Card

The UP Board Compartment Exam 2026 application window opened on June 6, 2026 — students can apply at upmsp.edu.in until June 27, 2026. UPMSP conducts the compartment and improvement exams for Class 10 (High School) and Class 12 (Intermediate) students who could not clear one or two subjects in the main board exam, giving them a second chance to pass without losing an academic year.

• Applications are open from June 6 to June 27, 2026 at upmsp.edu.in — submit before the deadline and send physical documents to the UPMSP regional office within 3 days of June 27.
• Class 10 students who failed in 1 or 2 subjects and Class 12 students who failed in exactly 1 subject are eligible for the compartment exam.
• Students with an E1 grade (21–32 marks out of 100) are eligible; students with an E2 grade (0–20 marks) are not eligible and must repeat the full year.
• The compartment exam is expected in the last week of July 2026, with results likely in the first week of August 2026.
• Application fee is ₹256.50 for Class 10 and ₹306 for Class 12, paid via treasury challan at an authorised government bank.
• Students who clear the compartment exam receive a valid "Pass (Compartment)" marksheet accepted for all college admissions and government jobs across India.
• Students who fail the compartment exam must repeat the entire academic year as a regular student in the next session.

For 2026, UPMSP has introduced an improvement exam option for Class 12 students for the first time. Passed Class 12 students can now appear in one subject of their choice to improve their aggregate percentage for college admissions. Class 10 students have had access to both compartment and improvement exams for several years. Both exams follow the same syllabus, question paper format, and passing criteria as the main board exam.

The application process has two mandatory stages: online registration at upmsp.edu.in and physical submission of the printed form with the treasury challan receipt to the UPMSP regional office. Completing only the online form without sending physical documents will invalidate the application.

UP Board Compartment Exam 2026 Overview

UPMSP conducts the High School (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) board exams for roughly 55–60 lakh students each year, making it one of the largest board examination bodies in India. The compartment cycle runs every July–August, shortly after the main exam results are declared. The 2026 main exam results were announced in April–May 2026, and the compartment application window opened on June 6, 2026. UPMSP allows up to three compartment attempts per subject, helping students clear individual subject backlogs without necessarily repeating an entire academic year each time.

UP Board Compartment Exam Datesheet 2026

The official subject-wise exam datesheet for the UP Board Compartment Exam 2026 is expected to be released by UPMSP in the last week of June 2026. Until the official datesheet is published, students should monitor upmsp.edu.in regularly — the schedule will appear there first. The table below lists all confirmed and expected key dates for the 2026 compartment cycle, with upcoming events in chronological order.

Note: Exam dates are tentative and based on previous year patterns. The confirmed subject-wise datesheet will be published on upmsp.edu.in. Check the official website regularly for updates.

Based on previous years, Class 12 (Intermediate) compartment exams are typically held in the second–third week of July, with Class 10 (High School) compartment exams following in the same window. Both exams are conducted in the afternoon shift: 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM for Class 12 (3 hours 15 minutes) and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM for Class 10 (3 hours).

UP Board Compartment Exam Fee Structure

The application fee for the UP Board Compartment / Improvement Exam 2026 is paid via a treasury challan deposited at an authorised government bank under the UPMSP exam fee head. Online payment, UPI, and net banking are not accepted — treasury challan is the only valid payment mode for this application. Keep the original stamped challan receipt safely, as it must accompany the physical application sent to the UPMSP regional office.

Note: The fee covers one subject per application. Confirm the exact fee amount on upmsp.edu.in before depositing, as UPMSP may revise fees. No refund is issued once the fee is deposited.

How to Apply for UP Board Compartment Exam 2026

The application process has two mandatory stages. Both stages must be completed — submitting only the online form without dispatching physical documents will invalidate the application entirely.

• Step 1 — Visit the Official Portal: Go to upmsp.edu.in or the dedicated portal compartment.upmsp.edu.in. The application window is open from June 6 to June 27, 2026.
• Step 2 — Fill the Online Application Form: Enter your roll number, registration number, failed subject details, and personal information exactly as they appear on your 2026 main exam documents. Double-check all entries before submitting.
• Step 3 — Pay the Fee via Treasury Challan: Deposit ₹256.50 (Class 10) or ₹306 (Class 12) at any authorised government bank under the UPMSP fee head. Collect and keep the stamped challan receipt — it is your proof of payment and a required document.
• Step 4 — Print the Submitted Application Form: After successful online submission, download and print the completed application form from the portal.
• Step 5 — Dispatch Physical Documents to the UPMSP Regional Office: Send the printed application form along with the original treasury challan receipt to the concerned UPMSP regional office via registered post or speed post. Documents must reach the regional office within 3 days of June 27, 2026 (by approximately June 30, 2026).
• Step 6 — Retain Proof of Submission: Keep a photocopy of the application form and the postal dispatch receipt until the admit card is received, as these serve as proof in case of any discrepancy.

UP Board Passing Marks Criteria 2026

The minimum passing requirement for the UP Board Compartment Exam 2026 is identical to the main board exam standard. Students must score a minimum of 33% in both the theory exam and the practical or internal assessment component separately — clearing only one component is not sufficient to pass the subject.

For the standard subject format (70 marks theory + 30 marks practical/internal), the minimum theory pass mark works out to 23 out of 70, and the minimum practical/internal pass mark is 10 out of 30. For pure-theory subjects (100 marks theory, no practical), students must score at least 33 out of 100. The key distinction is that both components carry independent passing requirements — a high theory score cannot compensate for a failure in practicals, and vice versa.

Is 23 marks out of 70 a passing mark in UP Board?

Yes, 23 out of 70 is the minimum passing mark for the theory component in most UP Board subjects. The passing requirement is 33% of the total marks — 33% of 70 equals 23.1, which rounds down to 23. However, the theory pass is only one half of the requirement: students must also score at least 10 out of 30 in the practical or internal assessment to be declared passed in the subject. A student who scores 23 in theory but only 8 in practicals has not passed, regardless of the combined total of 31 — both components must individually meet the 33% threshold.

UP Board Compartment Exam — Passing Marks Quick Reference

UP Board Grading System

UPMSP uses a 9-point grading scale (A1 to E2) for both Class 10 and Class 12 results. Grades are assigned based on the combined marks (theory + practical/internal) out of 100 per subject. Grade D (33–40 marks) is the minimum passing grade; grades E1 and E2 both indicate failure — E1 students are eligible for the compartment exam, while E2 students are not.

The grading scale applies to the subject total on the final marksheet and certificate alongside the actual numerical marks. For the practical component, UPMSP uses a separate 5-point scale (A to E). A student must achieve at least Grade D independently in both the theory and practical components of a subject to be declared passed — a high grade in one cannot override a failing grade in the other.
