The UP Board Class 12 Syllabus and Exam Pattern play a crucial role in helping students prepare effectively for the 2026 Intermediate exams. The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) releases a structured syllabus every year covering Science, Commerce, and Arts subjects.
This guide provides a complete breakdown of the updated syllabus, marking scheme, question format, and smart strategies to help students score high in the upcoming exams.
UPMSP has published a 'new syllabus' for 2025-26 session, and students have something standard to structure their preparation for exams at this time. The 'new syllabus of subjects' have the same general chapters, and refine the topic listings, and flow of the concepts of each subject discipline.
The board retained the important topic chapters outline of years past, while examining the depth of the topics, and reconfigured them for easy peer-learning and subject specialty. Science and Commerce subjects are more focused in application and numerical concepts, while Arts is more focused in theory, analysis and description of understanding. Students should download the official syllabus pdf from upmsp.edu.in as formats of syllabi from years past may not match the required information for the 2026 exams.
Each UP Board Class 12 stream—Science, Commerce, and Arts—has its own set of core subjects and topics. Understanding the chapter distribution helps students allocate time efficiently and plan their preparation based on difficulty and weightage.
Below is a clear subject-wise summary designed to help students revise smartly.
Familiarity with the structure of exams allows students to better plan and prepare for revision, practice answer format, and successfully manage exam time. The UP Board administers each subject according to a 100-mark assessment, with sections designated to theory, practical assessments, or internal assessments.
The new exam model promotes conceptually and application-based learning for all streams, with subjects' revised chapter distributions offered by UPMSP.
