UP Board shortlists 7,526 centres for 2027 exams
The Story in Brief
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UP Board) has provisionally shortlisted 7,526 examination centres for the 2027 High School and Intermediate examinations through an online process. These include 862 government schools, 3,276 aided secondary schools and 3,388 unaided private schools.
The number of centres is higher than the 7,448 allotted for the 2026 exams. The list of proposed centres has been uploaded to the Board’s website, said Board Secretary Bhagwati Singh. The centres were shortlisted based on preliminary data verified by tehsil-level committees and await approval from the District Examination Centre Committee, headed by the district magistrate.
Students, parents, principals and school management can raise objections via the UP Board portal by October 28. The District Inspector of Schools will examine objections and forward the district-approved list to the Board by November 6. After further objections, the Board’s Center Determination Committee will finalise the list, to be published on November 27.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 78-centre increase over 2026 suggests the Board is expanding capacity, though the number remains below the 7,657 centres used in 2025 and 7,864 in 2024. The multi-stage objection process, with deadlines on 28 October, 6 November, 16 November and 21 November, gives stakeholders repeated chances to flag issues before the final list on 27 November. The reliance on tehsil-level and district-level committees means local verification, but also that final approvals rest with district magistrates, whose workload and scrutiny will determine whether the schedule holds. The key deadline to watch is 27 November, when the Board publishes the binding list.
