UP Board extends Class 10, 12 evaluation deadline to April 4 after delays due to public holidays

The evaluation schedule for the High School and Intermediate Examinations 2026 has been extended after delays disrupted the process at several centres. The evaluation of answer sheets had started on March 18, 2026 and was supposed to wrap up by April 1, 2026. However, officials found that the work could not be completed on time due to multiple holidays falling during the evaluation period.

Public holidays on March 21, 2026 for Eid-ul-Fitr and on March 26 and 27, 2026 for Ram Navami slowed down the checking process across the state. Several requests were received from District School Inspectors and Deputy Controllers of evaluation centres to extend the deadline.

Considering the situation, the board has now given evaluators a few more days, extending the deadline to April 4, 2026. Officials have asked all centres to use this additional time carefully and complete the checking process properly.

Along with the revised evaluation dates, the board has asked to submit the award lists to regional offices by April 5, 2026.
