UP Board Class 10 Toppers 2026: Official List
Unlike CBSE, the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) continues to release an official state-wide toppers list for its High School (Class 10) examination. The UP Board Class 10 toppers list 2026 was announced along with the result on April 23, 2026 at 4 PM by Board Chairman Dr. Mahendra Dev and Secretary Bhagwati Singh. The merit list is led by two joint toppers who scored an identical 97.83%.
- Joint Rank 1: Kashish Verma from Sitapur and Anshika Verma from Barabanki, both with 97.83%.
- Rank 2: Aditi with 97.50%.
- Joint Rank 3: Arpita and Pari Verma, both with 97.33%.
- The High School marksheet is scored out of 600 marks, so 97.83% corresponds to roughly 587 out of 600.
The narrow margin between the top three positions — just half a percentage point separates Rank 1 from Rank 3 — underlines how tight the competition was at the top of the merit list this year.

UP Board 2026 Topper Profiles: Kashish Verma and Anshika Verma
The two joint toppers come from different districts but ended with the exact same aggregate. In the weeks following result day, their profiles have drawn wide attention as UPMSP felicitates the state’s top scorers with cash prizes and laptops.
Kashish Verma — Sitapur (97.83%)
Kashish Verma is a student of Baburam Savitri Devi Inter College, Pihani, in Sitapur district. She topped the state with 97.83% in the High School examination. According to media reports, Kashish has said she wants to prepare for the UPSC civil services examination in the future, framing the board result as the first step toward that long-term goal.
Anshika Verma — Barabanki (97.83%)
Anshika Verma studies at The Modern Academy Inter College, Zaidpur, in Barabanki district. She matched Kashish’s aggregate of 97.83% to share the first position, making Barabanki one of the standout districts in the 2026 High School merit list.
Common Threads Among the Toppers
Both joint toppers came from smaller-town schools rather than large metro institutions, reinforcing UPMSP’s observation that strong results are now emerging from across the state’s districts. Their consistency across all subjects — rather than dependence on a single high-scoring paper — is what carried them to the top of a merit list where ranks were separated by fractions of a percentage point.
Note: Detailed subject-wise breakdowns and full first-person study-routine interviews from the toppers are still emerging through media coverage and had not been issued as official UPMSP records at the time of writing; only confirmed details are reproduced above.
