What Happened
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP), which runs the UP Board, has released the date sheet for its 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. Under the timetable, notified on October 12, 2026, exams for both classes will be held from Friday, February 5, 2027, to Wednesday, February 24, 2027. Papers will be held in two shifts each day, from 8:30 am to 11:45 am and from 2 pm to 5:15 pm. Both classes begin with Hindi on February 5. The full subject-wise schedule is available on the board's website, upmsp.edu.in.
Key Facts
- Exam window: February 5 to February 24, 2027, for both Class 10 and Class 12.
- Morning shift: 8:30 am to 11:45 am; afternoon shift: 2 pm to 5:15 pm.
- First paper: Hindi (with Elementary Hindi for Class 10, and General Hindi for Class 12) on February 5.
- Class 10 English is scheduled for February 10.
- Class 12 Biology and Mathematics are scheduled for February 12.

Why It Matters
The UP Board timetable sets the rhythm of the school year for lakhs of students, their families and teachers across Uttar Pradesh. An early date sheet gives students close to four months to plan revision subject by subject, and helps schools schedule pre-board tests and practicals.
A 20-day window is compact. Many students will have papers on consecutive or closely spaced days, especially in the opening week, so the gaps between their own subjects matter more than the overall dates. Students should mark their own papers on a calendar, note which shift each falls in, and plan revision so that heavy subjects are not crammed into the last day before the exam.
The two-shift format also matters for daily routine. The morning shift starts at 8:30 am, which means leaving home early in many districts, while the afternoon shift ends at 5:15 pm. Practising full-length papers at the same time of day as the real exam can help students get used to the timing.
| Class | First paper (February 5) | Selected later papers |
|---|---|---|
| Class 10 | Hindi / Elementary Hindi | English on February 10 |
| Class 12 | Hindi / General Hindi | Biology and Mathematics on February 12 |
Impact
Short-term: Schools will align pre-board exams, practicals and syllabus completion with the February 5 start, and coaching centres will adjust revision schedules.
Long-term: An early, fixed timetable helps the board keep results on time, which in turn helps students apply for college admissions and entrance tests without delay.
Who is affected: Class 10 and Class 12 students of UP Board schools and their parents, teachers and school administrators, and coaching centres across Uttar Pradesh.
Key Takeaway
UP Board's 2027 Class 10 and 12 exams will run from February 5 to 24 in two shifts, giving students nearly four months to plan their revision.
