MP and UP Boards Revise Exam Patterns to Emphasize Reasoning and Application
Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh education boards are revising their exam patterns for Classes 9 to 12 starting the 2026-27 session. MP Board will adopt a CBSE-style format emphasizing reasoning and concept application, with Class 10 and 12 papers adjusted to 75 and 80 marks respectively. UP Board plans an 80-mark written exam for Class 12, with 20 marks from practicals and internal assessments, focusing on application-based questions aligned with NEP-2020 and NCF-2023 guidelines. Both aim to reduce rote learning and enhance understanding.
