UP Board Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme Explained

UPMSP set this paper (Set 324 CX) as 9 compulsory questions of rising difficulty, with the last three offering an internal choice.

  • Total questions: 9, split into 5 single-mark MCQs (Q1), 5 one-mark short questions (Q2), 8 two-mark questions (Q3-Q4), 10 five-mark questions (Q5-Q6), and 3 eight-mark long questions with a choice (Q7-Q9)
  • Total marks: 100
  • Duration: 3 hours 15 minutes
  • Question types: objective (MCQ), short-answer proofs and computations, and long-answer derivations
  • Internal choice: Q7, Q8 and Q9 (8 marks each, 24 marks total) each let you attempt one of two alternative questions

High-Weightage Topics in UP Board Class 12 Mathematics 2026 to Focus On First

Based on this paper's actual question distribution across Q1-Q6 (76 of the 100 marks, before the internal-choice questions), a few chapters clearly dominate.

  • Vector Algebra: 15 of 76 marks - cross products, unit vectors, and a 5-mark question on perpendicular vector sums
  • Application of Derivatives: 11 of 76 marks - increasing/decreasing intervals and a 5-mark optimisation proof (maximum-volume cone in a sphere)
  • Probability: 8 of 76 marks - conditional probability and a 5-mark independent-events proof
  • Relations and Functions: 6 of 76 marks - composition of functions and one-one/onto proofs
  • Linear Programming, Continuity, Matrices, Application of Integrals, and Definite Integrals: 5 marks each

The remaining 24 marks (Q7-Q9) let you choose between Matrices/Determinants and Differential Equations/Integrals - practise both pairs, since you only find out which one suits you better once you read the actual questions.

How to Use the UP Board Mathematics Question Paper for Practice

Treat this Set 324 CX paper as a timed mock before you check the solutions.

  • Attempt all 9 questions in 3 hours 15 minutes under exam conditions first
  • For Q7, Q8 and Q9, practise both alternatives of the internal choice, not just the one you'd normally pick
  • Review each answer against the step-by-step solution PDF, not just the final boxed answer
  • Redo the 5-mark and 8-mark questions you got wrong a second time after a gap of a few days
