UP Board Compartment Exam 2026: Registration Open till June 30, Eligibility and Result Date

UP Board Compartment and Improvement Exam 2026 registrations are open until June 30, 2026, for Class 10 (High School) and Class 12 (Intermediate) students who appeared in the UP Board main exam in February-March 2026. Students must submit the printed application form to the concerned UP Board regional office by registered post within three days of the last date of submission. The compartment exam is expected to be conducted in July 2026 at designated centres across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh, with results expected in August 2026.

The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) conducts the compartment and improvement exam every year for students of Class 10 and Class 12 who fail in one or two subjects or wish to improve their scores. The 2026 registration window, which opened on June 6, has been extended to June 30 following the Moharram public holiday on June 26 and bank closure on June 27 (4th Saturday). Students who have registered must ensure the printed form reaches the regional office within three days of the last date to avoid disqualification.

Students who pass the compartment exam receive a mark sheet marked “Pass (Compartment)”, enabling them to continue their education without losing an academic year. Those who do not clear the exam in the first attempt retain the option to re-appear up to a maximum of three times total.

• Students who failed in 1 or 2 subjects in the UP Board 2026 main exam are eligible for the compartment exam; for Class 12, only those who failed in exactly one subject qualify.
• Class 10 compartment / improvement exam 2026 application fee is ₹256.50 per subject and the last date to apply is June 30, 2026.
• Class 12 compartment exam 2026 application fee is ₹306 per subject and the last date to apply is June 30, 2026.
• The actual compartment exam is expected to be conducted in July 2026; the official subject-wise timetable will be released on upmsp.edu.in closer to the exam.
• Students must score a minimum of 33% marks — at least 23 out of 70 in theory and 10 out of 30 in practical/internal — to pass each component separately.
• A maximum of 3 attempts at the compartment exam is allowed; after the third failure, students must re-enrol as regular students for the next annual board exam cycle.
• Improvement category students who passed all Class 10 subjects can appear to enhance their marks in any one subject during the same registration window.

UP Board Compartment Exam 2026

The UP Board Class 10 (High School) main exam 2026 was held from February 18 to March 12, 2026, and results were declared on April 23, 2026, with an overall pass percentage of 90.42%. Students who scored between 21 and 32 marks in a subject received the E1 grade and are eligible for the compartment exam in that subject. The UP Board Class 12 (Intermediate) exam 2026 ran alongside, and students who failed in exactly one subject qualify for the compartment cycle. UPMSP is among the world's largest board examination bodies, overseeing roughly 55 lakh students annually — making the compartment exam equally large in scale, often drawing several lakh registrations across both classes each year.

UP Board Compartment Exam Datesheet 2026

The UP Board compartment exam 2026 is expected to be conducted in the last week of July 2026 for both Class 10 and Class 12. The official subject-wise timetable (date sheet) has not been released as of June 26, 2026, and will be published on upmsp.edu.in approximately two to three weeks before the examination. The table below lists confirmed and expected key dates in the 2026 compartment exam cycle, arranged with upcoming events first followed by events that have already passed.

Note: The registration deadline was originally June 27, 2026, but UPMSP extended it to June 30, 2026 due to the Moharram public holiday on June 26 and bank closure on June 27 (4th Saturday). After submitting the online form, students must send the printed application form to the UP Board regional office by registered post so that it arrives within three days of the last date.

UP Board Compartment Exam Fee Structure

The UP Board compartment and improvement exam 2026 application fee is fixed by UPMSP and must be paid via treasury challan at an authorized bank. The fee is non-refundable under any circumstances once the payment is confirmed, regardless of whether the student subsequently appears in the exam. Class 10 and Class 12 carry different fee amounts; Class 12 compartment is capped at one subject per cycle, while Class 10 compartment students who failed in two subjects pay the fee only for the one subject they choose to attempt in this cycle.

Step-by-step application process for UP Board Compartment Exam 2026:

• Visit the official registration portal at examregistration.upmsp.edu.in and select “Compartment / Improvement Registration 2026.”
• Enter your roll number and school code from your 2026 UP Board admit card or mark sheet; your name, date of birth, and subject details will be auto-populated.
• Select the subject you wish to appear in. Class 12 students register in their one failed subject; Class 10 students choose one failed subject if they failed in two.
• Pay the applicable fee — ₹256.50 for Class 10 or ₹306 for Class 12 — via treasury challan at an authorized bank under the UPMSP-designated fee head.
• Complete and submit the online application form; download and print the confirmation page together with the fee challan receipt.
• Send the printed application form and fee challan to the concerned UP Board regional office by registered post so that it arrives within three days of the June 30, 2026 deadline.

Note: The last date for submitting the application is June 30, 2026 (extended from the original June 27). Both the online submission and dispatch of the physical form by registered post must be completed by this date. Applications or physical forms reaching the regional office after the stipulated deadline will not be processed under any circumstances.

UP Board Passing Marks Criteria 2026

To pass the UP Board compartment exam 2026, students must secure a minimum of 33% marks in each component separately — theory and practical or internal assessment are evaluated as two independent pass conditions. Scoring high in theory alone does not compensate for failing the practical component; both must independently meet the 33% threshold for the subject to be counted as passed. A student who scores 50 out of 70 in theory but only 9 out of 30 in practical has failed the subject even though the combined percentage exceeds 33%.

Is scoring 23 out of 70 enough to pass the UP Board compartment theory paper?

Yes. For subjects where the theory paper carries 70 marks, the minimum passing score in theory is 23 out of 70 (32.86%, which rounds up to the 33% threshold). However, clearing the theory paper alone does not mean the subject is passed. You must also independently clear the practical or internal assessment by scoring at least 10 out of 30. Only when both conditions are satisfied simultaneously — at least 23 in theory AND at least 10 in practical — is the subject counted as passed in the compartment exam. A combined total above 33% without meeting both individual thresholds still results in a fail.

UP Board Passing Marks: Quick Reference

UP Board Grading System

The UP Board uses a 10-point grading scale for both Class 10 (High School) and Class 12 (Intermediate). Students who score between 21 and 32 marks (out of 100) in any subject receive the E1 grade — this is the compartment eligibility grade, and only E1 students may register for the compartment exam. Students who score 20 or below receive the E2 grade, which is below the compartment eligibility floor; they must re-enrol as regular students and sit for the full main exam the following year. The D grade (33-40 marks, grade point 4) represents the minimum passing band and is awarded only after clearing both theory and practical components at the 33% threshold.
