UPMSP provisional exam centre list 2027 released; schools can object by October 22

The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) today, October 17, 2026, released the provisional list of examination centres for the Class 10 and 12 board examinations scheduled for 2027. This list is available on the official website, upmsp.edu.in, and is intended to designate examination centres across various districts, ensuring convenient accessibility for candidates.

This release follows an initial list of proposed centres published on September 21, 2026, which had an objection window open until September 28, 2026. Schools are now able to review the provisional allocations and submit any objections to the UPMSP by October 22, 2026.

Phased Release of Centre Lists and Objection Windows

The UPMSP is releasing the exam centre list for the 2027 board examinations in a phased manner. The process began with an initial list of proposed examination centres, which was made public on September 21, 2026. Following this, a period for raising objections was provided, concluding on September 28, 2026. The current provisional list, released today, October 17, 2026, allows schools another opportunity to review and submit objections by October 22, 2026. The final list of approved examination centres is scheduled for publication on October 29, 2026.

This multi-stage approach aims to address concerns regarding centre allocations before the final designations are made. Students will be able to check the district-wise list of designated exam centres on the official UPMSP website, upmsp.edu.in, once the final list is released. The district education office also publishes a separate PDF for its respective schools, covering districts such as Prayagraj, Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Meerut, and Bareilly.

Examination Schedule for 2027 and Historical Context

The UP Board practical examinations for 2027 are expected to be conducted during January-February 2027. After that, the Class 10 and 12 theory examinations are scheduled to take place from February 5 to February 24, 2027. Each theory exam will have a duration of 3 hours and 15 minutes.
