Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry shared most of the paper, so students who were firm on kinetics, electrochemistry and reaction mechanisms scored quickly.
Ques. When was the UP Board Class 12 Chemistry 2026 exam held?
Ans. The UP Board Class 12 Chemistry 2026 paper was conducted by UPMSP on 25 February 2026. The theory paper had 26 questions for a total of 70 marks, with 3 hours 15 minutes to finish.
Ques. How many marks is the UP Board Class 12 Chemistry theory paper?
Ans. The theory paper is 70 marks. The remaining 30 marks come from the practical exam, which takes the subject to 100 marks in total.
Ques. Which chapters were the most important in the Set 347-EA paper?
Ans. Chemical Kinetics, Electrochemistry and Coordination Compounds led the paper, while Haloalkanes, Aldehydes and Ketones, Amines and Solutions filled the rest. Physical and Organic Chemistry together carried most of the marks.
Ques. Does the UP Board Class 12 Chemistry paper have internal choices?
Ans. Yes. The two five-mark long-answer questions each give an internal OR option, so students pick one of the two parts in each case.
