An important update has come out for lakhs of students associated with Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Council (UP Board). UP Board has released the official schedule of experimental examinations of Intermediate (12th) class for the year 2026. These examinations will be conducted by the board in two phases, so that evaluation can be done in a smooth and systematic manner in all the divisions. With this decision, not only will students and teachers get a chance to prepare in advance, but the examination system will also be managed in a better way.
The examination will be held in two phases, the first from January 24, 2026.
Let us tell you that the intermediate practical examinations of the first phase will be conducted from 24 January 2026 to 1 February 2026. In this phase, 10 divisions of the state have been included, which include Agra, Saharanpur, Bareilly, Lucknow, Jhansi, Chitrakoot, Ayodhya, Azamgarh, Devipatan and Basti divisions. However, practical examinations will not be conducted during this period on 29 January and 30 January 2026. The reason for this is that the written examination of UPTET (Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test) is to be conducted on both these days. Due to UPTET examination, there will be educational holidays in many schools of the state, due to which it has been decided to postpone the practical examinations on these dates.
8 divisions included in the second phase
Whereas, the second phase intermediate practical examinations will be conducted from 2 February 2026 to 9 February 2026. 8 divisions of the state have been included in this phase. In these, experimental examinations of students will be conducted in schools of Aligarh, Meerut, Moradabad, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Mirzapur, Varanasi and Gorakhpur divisions. The aim of the board is that evaluation should be done equally in all the boards and no student should face inconvenience.
