Study Tips
- Check Your Schedule: See how many days you have between important exams. Use the long breaks to study tough subjects and short breaks for quick review.
- Finish Your Syllabus: Try to finish all your topics, especially for exams that are one after another with no break.
- Practice with Old Papers: Start practicing with old exam papers. Try to finish them in the official time (like 8:30 AM to 11:45 AM). This will make you feel like you are taking the real test.
- Stay Healthy: Don’t forget to eat well, get enough sleep, and take care of yourself. You need to be healthy to do your best on the exams.
Admit Card
You will get an admit card (or hall ticket) for the exam. You must have this to be allowed into the exam room.
- How to get it: You cannot download your admit card yourself. Your school will get them and give them to you.
- When: Schools usually give out the admit cards a few weeks before the exams begin (probably in late January or early February 2026).
- What to do: Ask your school office when you can come and collect your admit card.
Results
After the last exam on March 12, 2026, the board will start checking all the answer sheets.
- When: Results for both Class 10th and 12th usually come out in April or May.
- Where: You will be able to check your results on the official UPMSP website.
