The Uttar Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (UPMSP) will soon release the admit cards for the Class 10 and 12 board exams 2026. Students appearing for these exams must have their admit cards, also known as hall tickets. The board exams for both High School (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) will take place from February 18, 2026, to March 12, 2026. Regular students will get their admit cards from their schools, while private students can download theirs from the official UPMSP website, upmsp.edu.in.
The admit card is a very important document. Without it, students will not be allowed to enter the examination hall. It contains crucial details like your name, roll number, photo, signature, exam subjects, exam centre address, and exam timings. Students must check all these details carefully once they receive their admit card.
The UP Board exams will be held in two shifts each day. The morning shift will be from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM. The evening shift will run from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM. Knowing these timings is essential for planning your exam day.
How Regular Students Get Their Admit Card
If you are a regular student studying in a school affiliated with the UP Board, you will receive your admit card directly from your school. The school authorities will download and prepare the admit cards for all their students. Here are the steps:
- Visit your school and talk to your principal or the school's administrative staff.
- Your school principal will download the admit card from the UP Board's special portal.
- The school will then put its official seal and the principal's signature on your admit card. This makes it valid.
- You must collect your printed admit card from your school well before your exams begin.
How Private Students Download Their Admit Card

- A new window will open asking for your login details. Here, you need to enter your roll number or registration number.
- After entering the details, click on the 'Submit' button. Your UPMSP admit card will appear on the screen.
- Download the admit card and take a colour printout of it. It is good to have more than one copy.
