The board exams for both Class 10 and Class 12 are scheduled to happen from **February 18 to March 12, 2026**.

Why is the Exam Center List Important?
The exam center list tells students the exact school or college where they will take their board exams. This information is crucial for several reasons:
- Students can find out the location of their exam center.
- They can plan how to reach the center on exam days, checking travel time and routes.
- Knowing the center early reduces stress and last-minute confusion.
How Were Exam Centers Selected?
The UPMSP followed a clear process to choose the exam centers. Schools that wanted to host the upcoming board exams had to apply online. They submitted their applications through the official website, **upmsp.edu.in**. The board then reviewed all these applications very carefully. This review process ensures that only suitable schools with proper facilities are chosen as exam centers. After checking all details, the board creates the final list, which will be available soon.
