Uttarakhand board exams see 5,827 fewer registrations this year
The Story in Brief
Registrations for the Uttarakhand Board’s high school and intermediate exams in 2026 have dropped by 5,827 compared to the previous year. A total of 2,09,425 students have enrolled for the examinations this year, according to education department data.
Among the registered candidates, 1,10,278 are for high school (Class 10) and 99,147 for intermediate (Class 12). in 2025, the numbers stood at 1,12,266 for high school and 1,02,986 for intermediate.
Education department officials said the board exam dates and the list of sensitive and highly sensitive exam centres will be announced soon.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The drop of 5,827 candidates in one year reverses a long-term upward trend and points to shrinking enrolment in government schools. More than 3,000 primary schools in the state are on the verge of closure because of fewer than 10 students each, the same report notes. The board has not yet set exam dates or identified sensitive centres, leaving schools and students with no confirmed timetable for the coming cycle.
