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

UPMSP set this paper (Set 324 CZ) 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.

  • Differential Equations: 14 of 76 marks - the single biggest chapter in this set, spanning short and 5-mark questions
  • Vector Algebra: 13 of 76 marks - dot/cross products and a 5-mark vector proof
  • Continuity and Differentiability, and Probability: 8 of 76 marks each - a 5-mark proof and a 5-mark conditional-probability question
  • Inverse Trigonometric Functions: 7 of 76 marks - identities and a 5-mark proof

The remaining 24 marks (Q7-Q9) let you choose between Determinants/Matrices, Application of Derivatives, and Integrals/Application of Integrals - practise all of them, since you only find out which pair suits you better once you read the actual questions.

How to Use the UP Board Mathematics Question Paper for Practice

Treat this Set 324 CZ 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
