UP Board Class 10 and 12 Results 2026: A Detailed Year-on-Year Comparison
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has officially released the results for both high school and intermediate examinations. This year, students appearing for Class 10 achieved a pass percentage of 90.40%, while those in Class 12 recorded a pass rate of 80.38%. These figures present a mixed picture when compared to last year’s performance, with a slight improvement in high school results but a noticeable dip in intermediate outcomes.
Class 10 Performance: A Marginal Upswing
For the high school examinations, the overall pass percentage has seen a modest increase of 0.29% compared to the previous year. In 2025, the pass rate stood at 90.11%, which has now climbed to 90.40%. This upward trend is largely driven by the performance of male students, who showed a significant improvement of 0.64% over last year. However, female students experienced a slight decline of 0.11% in their pass percentage, which slightly offset the overall gains.
Class 12 Performance: A Notable Decline
The intermediate results, on the other hand, paint a different picture. The overall pass percentage has dropped by 0.77% compared to the previous year. In 2025, 81.15% of students successfully cleared the Class 12 exams, but this year the figure has fallen to 80.38%. The decline is more pronounced among boys, who saw their pass rate decrease by 1.56%. Girls also experienced a minor setback, with their pass percentage dipping by 0.05%.
