Candidates can submit their applications online through the official UPMSP website. The application fee for each subject is Rs. 300 for general category students and Rs. 200 for reserved category students. The fee can be paid via online modes including net banking, debit card, or credit card. Students are advised to fill the form carefully as no corrections will be allowed after submission.
“The board has made the application process entirely online to ensure transparency and ease for students. Candidates must check all details before final submission,” said a UPMSP official in a statement.

The UPMSP will release the admit cards for the compartment and improvement exams in the first week of July 2026. Students can download them from the official website using their roll number and date of birth. The exams will be held in pen-and-paper mode at designated centers across the state.
The question paper pattern will be similar to the regular board exams, with the same marking scheme and duration. For Class 10, each subject exam will be of 100 marks, while for Class 12, the theory papers will be of 70 marks each, with practical exams conducted separately.
