Preparations are underway for the Uttar Pradesh Board's High School and Intermediate practical examinations 2025. This year, major changes have been introduced to ensure greater transparency and accountability.
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) is implementing measures like video recording of viva sessions and mandatory marking via an app, making it impossible for examiners to assign arbitrary marks. The UPMSP practical exams for High School and Intermediate are slated to be held from February 1 to 16, 2025.
The JEE (Main) 2025 examination was held between January 22 and 30, 2025. The Uttar Pradesh Board of Secondary Education has revised the schedule for the Intermediate practical examinations. The first phase was conducted from February 1st to 8th, 2025, while the second phase will take place from February 9th to 16th, 2025. The boards involved in the first phase are Aligarh, Meerut, Moradabad, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Mirzapur, Varanasi, and Gorakhpur, while the boards in the second phase include Agra, Saharanpur, Bareilly, Lucknow, Jhansi, Chitrakoot, Ayodhya, Azamgarh, Devipatan, and Basti.

Numerous major changes have been introduced in the way how UPMSP practical exams 2025 will be conducted. As per reports, some of the notable changes and essential alterations are mentioned below:
For the first time, UPMSP viva sessions during practical exams will be video recorded. This ensures that students’ performance is fairly evaluated, and any discrepancies can be reviewed later. The recordings will be sent directly to the UP Board for verification.
Examiners will now have to input marks through a dedicated app that will only function within the school premises. This step eliminates the possibility of examiners marking students from home or outside the examination centre.
School principals will play a pivotal role in this process by assisting in uploading viva recordings and ensuring adherence to the new guidelines.
The UPMSP practical exams will be held in two phases from February 1 to 16, 2025. The region-wise Phase 1 and Phase 2 practical exam details are mentioned below:
The UP 12th practical exams have been changed. The UP inter-practical exams, previously scheduled to occur in two phases between January 23rd and February 8th, 2025, will now be conducted in a single phase from February 1 to 16, 2025.
