Results season 2026 is nearly complete. The UP Board — the country’s largest with around 52 lakh candidates — declared its Class 10 and 12 results on 23 April 2026, and most other national and state boards followed through May and June. If you are still waiting on a supplementary result, need to re-download a marksheet for admission, or want to verify scores through DigiLocker, this guide covers every route.
One thing to understand before anything else: the marksheet you download online is provisional. It works for most immediate admission formalities, but the original certificate comes only through your school after the board dispatches physical copies. Colleges typically accept the DigiLocker version in the interim because it carries digital verification — a printout from a random result portal does not.
UP Board Result 2026: Declared on 23 April at 4 PM
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) announced both results together from its Prayagraj headquarters, following the official notification signed by Board Secretary Bhagwati Singh on 22 April. The exams ran from 18 February to 12 March 2026 across roughly 8,000 centres, and the evaluation cycle was one of the fastest in the board’s recent history — barely six weeks from the last paper to the declaration.
| Particulars | Details |
| Board | Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) |
| Result date | 23 April 2026, 4:00 PM |
| Exam window | 18 February – 12 March 2026 |
| Class 10 pass percentage | 90.42% (girls 93.76%, boys 87.30%) |
| Class 12 pass percentage | 80.38% (girls 86.32%, boys 75.04%) |
| Result portals | upmsp.edu.in, upresults.nic.in |
| Login credentials | Roll number (plus district/school code on some portals) |
The gender gap remained the defining pattern of the year: girls outperformed boys in both classes, by more than 6 percentage points in Class 10 and over 11 points in Class 12. Among Class 12 candidates, 1,58,789 students — just under 8% — cleared with honours by scoring 75% or above, and regular students (80.47%) passed at a slightly higher rate than private candidates (77.54%).
Toppers 2026 — and how they compare with 2025
Sitapur and Barabanki dominated the merit lists this year in both classes.
Class 10 (High School), 2026:
| Rank | Name | District | Percentage |
| 1 (joint) | Kashish Verma | Sitapur | 97.83% |
| 1 (joint) | Anshika Verma | Barabanki | 97.83% |
| 2 | Aditi | Barabanki | 97.50% |
| 3 (joint) | Arpita | Sitapur | 97.33% |
| 3 (joint) | Priti Verma | Bareilly | 97.33% |
Class 12 (Intermediate), 2026:
| Rank | Name | District | Percentage |
| 1 | Shikha Verma | Sitapur | 97.60% |
| 2 (joint) | Nandani Gupta | Bareilly | 97.20% |
| 2 (joint) | Shriya Verma | Barabanki | 97.20% |
| 3 (joint) | Surabhi Yadav | Bareilly | 97.00% |
| 3 (joint) | Pooja Pal | Barabanki | 97.00% |
An interesting continuity: the 2026 Class 10 topping score of 97.83% exactly matches what Yash Pratap Singh of Jalaun scored to top in 2025. In Class 12, the bar moved up — Mehak Jaiswal of Prayagraj topped 2025 with 97.20%, a score that this year earned only joint second place. State toppers traditionally receive cash prizes, laptops and medals from the UP government, with district-level toppers also recognised.
Four Ways to Get Your UP Board Marksheet
The official portals slow down badly in the first hours after any declaration, so it pays to know all the routes — and which one to use when.
Official websites. Go to upresults.nic.in or upmsp.edu.in, open the High School or Intermediate result link, enter your roll number (some mirrors also ask for the district or school code printed on your admit card), and download the PDF. Months after declaration, traffic is no longer an issue and this is the fastest route.
SMS — no internet needed. Type UP10, a space, and your roll number for Class 10, or UP12 followed by your roll number for Class 12, and send it to 56263. The provisional scores arrive as a text message. This route exists precisely for result day, when websites buckle, but it works year-round.
DigiLocker — the one that matters for admissions. Sign in at results.digilocker.gov.in (registration requires your Aadhaar-linked mobile number), open Issued Documents, select the Uttar Pradesh board, your class and year, and enter the roll number. The marksheet you get here is digitally signed, which is why colleges accept it in place of the original during counselling. If your marksheet does not appear under Issued Documents, check that your date of birth and roll number match the board’s records exactly — a single-digit mismatch is the most common cause.
UMANG app. Search “UPMSP” inside the app or at web.umang.gov.in, pick your class, and log in with the roll number. Functionally identical to the website, useful mainly if you already use UMANG for other government services.
Official Result Websites for Every Board — Class 10 and 12
Several boards use different portals for the two classes, which trips up a lot of students — checking a Class 12 result on the Class 10 portal simply returns an error. The table below lists both, side by side:

The checking procedure is nearly identical everywhere: open the result link on the board’s site, enter the roll number from your admit card (some boards also require a registration number or school code), submit, and save the PDF. Keep a printed copy — admission counters still routinely ask for one even when they verify the digital version.
What to Verify on the Marksheet — Before You Leave the Page
Errors on a provisional marksheet carry over to the original certificate if not reported, and correcting a printed certificate later takes far longer than flagging a mistake now. Check every field the moment you download: your name and your parents’ names (spelling included), roll number, school and district code, subject-wise theory and practical marks, total and maximum marks, division or grade, and the qualifying status. UP Board students should remember the split when tallying subject totals — Class 10 papers carry 80 theory and 20 internal assessment marks, Class 12 papers carry 70 and 30. The minimum passing requirement is 33%.
Found an error? Contact your school first — schools route corrections to the board. UP Board students can also use the board’s grievance portal at janhit.upmsp.edu.in or the helplines at 0532-2622767 and 0522-2239006.
Failed One or Two Subjects, or Expected More? Your Options
A result that isn’t what you hoped for is not the end of the academic year — every board builds in second chances, but each has a deadline, and missing it means waiting a full year.
Scrutiny or revaluation. If your marks in a subject are sharply below your own assessment, you can apply to have the answer sheet re-totalled or re-checked. Applications open within a fixed window after the declaration — typically a few weeks — with a per-subject fee that varies by board. Be realistic about outcomes: scrutiny usually catches totalling errors and unmarked answers, not differences of opinion on answer quality. It makes sense when the gap is large, less so for chasing two or three marks.
Compartment / supplementary exams. Students who fail in one or two subjects can clear them through a supplementary exam held within months of the main result, rather than repeating the whole year. Most boards conducted their 2026 supplementary rounds through June and July, so if this applies to you, check your board’s site now — some result links for supplementary exams are being activated in exactly this period.
Improvement exams. Several boards, including CBSE, also let passed students reappear in a subject to improve a score. Weigh this against your admission timeline: an improvement result usually arrives after the main counselling rounds close.
Frequently Asked Questions
When was the UP Board Result 2026 declared?
On 23 April 2026 at 4:00 PM, through a press conference at the board’s Prayagraj headquarters, after which the download links went live on upmsp.edu.in and upresults.nic.in. Class 10 recorded a 90.42% pass rate and Class 12 recorded 80.38%.
Is the online marksheet valid for college admission?
The provisional PDF works for applying, and the digitally signed DigiLocker copy is accepted at most counselling and verification stages. The original marksheet-cum-certificate, issued through your school some weeks after the declaration, is what you submit for final enrolment. If your school hasn’t received originals within about two months of the result, follow up with the school office — delays usually happen at the dispatch stage, not the board.
Which boards declare results first each year?
There is no fixed order, but a consistent pattern: boards that finish exams by early March — UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, MP among them — declare in April, while boards with later exam calendars and CBSE’s larger evaluation load push declarations into May. UP’s own record over recent years shows the trend toward earlier results: 23 April in 2026, 25 April in 2025, 20 April in 2024, versus 25 May back in 2023.
One Thing to Do Today, Whatever Your Result
Save your marksheet in DigiLocker now, even if you already have the PDF and a printout. Roll numbers get misplaced, downloaded files get lost with old phones, and every admission, scholarship and job verification for the next decade will ask for this document. The DigiLocker copy is permanent, digitally verified, and retrievable with nothing but your Aadhaar-linked number — five minutes spent today saves a genuinely painful reconstruction process years later.
