7,526 UP Board Exam Centres for 2027 Are Out: Object by October 28 or Live With Your Centre

The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has released the provisional exam centre list for the 2027 High School and Intermediate examinations, and students have only till October 28, 2026, to object. The list names 7,526 centres across the state for the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams, and it also shows which centre each school’s students have been allotted. If your centre is too far away or cannot hold the number of students assigned to it, this week is the time to say so.

This is a provisional list, not the final one. That is exactly why the objection window exists. Once the final list is out, changing a centre becomes far harder, so a problem spotted now is worth reporting now.

7,526 centres: 862 government, 3,276 aided, 3,388 private

The provisional list covers 862 government schools, 3,276 aided secondary schools and 3,388 unaided private schools. The total is up from 7,448 centres in the 2026 examinations, a rise of 78 centres.

Centres were picked through an online process that used school data checked and updated by tehsil-level committees. The list will now go before district examination centre determination committees, each headed by the District Magistrate of that district, for a second round of scrutiny.

7,526 centres. One objection window. It closes on October 28.

How to object before October 28

Students, parents, principals and school managers can all raise objections. The objection has to be filed online on the official UPMSP portal, in the prescribed format. A complaint without a reason will not help: each objection needs a valid reason and supporting evidence.

The form asks for the district name, the institution name and school code, the applicant’s name and mobile number, the details of the objection, and the applicant’s name and signature at the end. Common grounds include a centre that is too far from the school, a centre allotted more students than it can seat, and a school picked as a centre despite facing debarment or recognition proceedings.

File the objection on the official UPMSP portal rather than through any third-party site. The board has said no objection will be accepted after October 28, 2026.

What happens after October 28

District Inspectors of Schools (DIOS) will examine the objections and settle them on time. They will then forward the district-approved list to the board online by November 6, 2026. The revised list, along with student allocation, is scheduled to be uploaded on the board website on November 16.

After one more round of feedback, the final centre list is due on November 27, 2026. The 2027 board examinations are scheduled for February 2027, so students will know their final centre well before admit cards arrive.

Why the provisional list can still change

A provisional list is a draft, and drafts change when people point out real problems. Schools facing debarment or recognition-withdrawal proceedings, for instance, should not be functioning as centres, and details of such institutions are made available on the DIOS portal for checking. Distance is another common issue: a centre far from the students’ own school adds travel cost and stress on exam morning, and that is a fair ground for objection if the facts support it.

Capacity matters as well. If a centre has been allotted more candidates than its rooms can seat, the board needs to know before the final list is fixed. An objection backed by the school’s room strength and the number of students allotted carries far more weight than a general complaint, so attach whatever evidence you have.

Check your centre today, not in February

Open the list on the UPMSP website and find your school first, then the centre allotted to its students. If everything looks right, you do not need to do anything. If something looks wrong, raise it through your school now, while the window is open.

Principals and school managers should check their own school’s entry too. A school wrongly shown as a centre, or wrongly left out, affects every student attached to it. The district committee can only fix what it is told about, and the deadline for telling it is October 28.
