Students who received an E1 grade in the UP Board Class 10 (High School) exam 2026 — meaning they failed in exactly one subject — are eligible to appear in the compartment exam scheduled in July 2026.
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) awards grade E1 to students who score below 33% in one subject while passing all others. These students get a second chance through the compartment exam rather than having to repeat the entire year. Students with an E2 grade — who failed in two or more subjects — are not eligible and must re-enrol for the next academic session.
- Eligibility criterion: E1 grade — failed in exactly one subject in the UP Board Class 10 main exam 2026.
- Not eligible: E2 grade — failed in two or more subjects; must repeat the year.
- Compartment exam date: July 2026 (expected, based on UPMSP’s past schedule).
- Check your grade on the official portal at upmsp.edu.in or on your marksheet.
- Both regular and private students with E1 grade can apply.

What is E1 Grade in UP Board Class 10?
The UP Board uses a two-tier fail grade system for High School (Class 10) students. Grade E1 is assigned when a student fails in exactly one subject — scoring below the minimum 33% passing marks in that paper while clearing all remaining subjects. This is distinct from Grade E2, awarded when a student fails in two or more subjects.
The E1 classification is a second-chance provision. Instead of repeating the full academic year, a student with E1 can sit for the compartment exam in July and receive a full pass certificate for the session if they clear it.
| Grade | Meaning | Compartment Eligibility |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | Failed in one subject only | Yes — eligible for compartment exam |
| E2 | Failed in two or more subjects | No — must repeat the year |
| D and above | Passed all subjects (33% and above) | Not applicable — already passed |
