UP Board Scrutiny, Compartment and Improvement Exam 2027: Complete Guide

After the UP Board result, two kinds of students need help: those who believe their marks were added wrongly, and those who failed in one or two subjects. UPMSP has a separate process for each.

Part 1: Scrutiny of marks

What scrutiny checks

• Whether every answer has been given marks.
• Whether the marks have been added correctly.
• Whether the total was copied correctly to the award list.

What scrutiny does not do

The answers are not evaluated again. If the examiner gave 3 out of 5 for an answer, scrutiny will not change it to 4.

How to apply

1. Open upmsp.edu.in after the result and find the scrutiny link.
2. Fill the online form with roll number and the subjects or papers you want checked.
3. Pay the fee per paper through the challan or online mode given in the notice. Written and practical papers are counted separately.
4. Send the printed form and fee proof to the concerned regional office by registered post if the notice asks for it.

The window stays open for a limited period after the result. The scrutiny result is published on the website some weeks later, and a revised marksheet is issued if marks change.

Part 2: Improvement and compartment

Eligibility depends on the stream and subject combination, so read the UPMSP compartment notice for 2027 before applying.

Application and exam

• Applications are filled online on upmsp.edu.in, with a fixed fee.
• The exam is generally held in July at district-level centres.
• The result is declared separately, and a fresh marksheet is issued.

Scrutiny or compartment: which first?

If you failed by a small margin, you can apply for both. Scrutiny results take time, and the compartment form has its own deadline. Applying for the compartment exam keeps your year safe even if scrutiny does not change anything.

Practical tips

• Keep a copy of the online result and the admit card; both numbers are needed in the forms.
• Apply yourself or through the school. Do not pay agents.
• If you failed in more than two subjects, you will have to reappear in the next main exam. Talk to your school about filling the form as a regular or private candidate.
