The UP Board's provisional list of 7,526 exam centres for the 2027 Class 10 and 12 exams is out; objections close on October 28, 2026.
What Happened
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP), which runs the UP Board, has released a provisional list of 7,526 examination centres for the 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 board exams, and Wednesday, October 28, 2026, is the last day to raise objections. The list was published on October 26 on the board's website, upmsp.edu.in. Students, parents, school principals and school managers can file objections online, giving a reason and supporting evidence. District-level committees are expected to send their reviewed recommendations to the board by November 6, after which a final list will be published.
Key Facts
- The UP Board's provisional list proposes 7,526 exam centres for the 2027 high school (Class 10) and intermediate (Class 12) exams.
- That is 78 more than the 7,448 centres in the provisional list for the 2026 exams.
- The list was released on October 26, 2026; objections close on October 28.
- Objections are filed online at upmsp.edu.in and must include a valid reason and supporting evidence.
- District authorities are expected to forward reviewed recommendations by November 6, 2026.
- Reports differ on when the final list will appear, with dates of November 16 and November 27 both cited; the board has not confirmed either.
Why It Matters
The UP Board's Class 10 and 12 exams are taken by lakhs of students across Uttar Pradesh, so the choice of exam centres affects a very large number of families. A centre that is too far from home can mean long, costly journeys, especially for students in rural areas, and travel time and safety are common concerns for parents. Schools also care about whether they are chosen as centres, because hosting exams brings both responsibility and scrutiny.
The objection window exists so that these problems can be fixed before the list becomes final. A student or school can object if, for example, a centre is unreasonably far away, lacks basic facilities such as proper seating, toilets or CCTV cameras, or has a poor record in conducting fair exams. District committees then check the objections and recommend changes to the board.
Centre selection also matters for the fairness of the exams. A centre has to be able to seat students properly, store question papers securely and allow invigilators to supervise effectively. The board has to balance these needs against easy access for students, and the objection process is one of the few points at which schools and families can influence that balance.
The small rise in the number of proposed centres, 78 more than last year's provisional list, may reflect changes in school enrolment or in which schools meet the board's requirements. The board has not explained the change, and the final number may still move after objections are reviewed.
Because the window is short, schools and families who have a genuine problem with their allotted centre need to act on the last day. After the district reviews and the board's decision, changes become much harder.

Impact
Short-term: Students and schools with concerns about their centres must file objections online by the end of October 28. District committees will review these over the next week.
Long-term: The final list will decide where lakhs of students sit their board exams in 2027. A fair, well-planned list helps reduce travel burdens and supports the board's efforts to keep exams free of malpractice.
Who is affected: Class 10 and 12 students in Uttar Pradesh preparing for the 2027 board exams, their parents, school principals and managers, and district education officials.
