UP Board Class 12 Physics 2026 Paper Pattern and Marks Split

The Physics theory paper carries 70 marks and runs for 3 hours 15 minutes, with a separate 30-mark practical component. Set 346 DX mixes quick objective items with longer derivation-based answers, so pacing matters. Here is how the marks are spread across the question types.

  • Multiple choice: 6 objective questions that test formulas, dimensions and single-concept recall.
  • Very short answer: one-line or single-step numerical questions worth a mark or two each.
  • Short answer: two to three step problems on optics, current electricity and modern physics.
  • Long answer: full derivations and multi-part numericals from electrostatics, magnetism and electromagnetic induction.

Electrostatics, current electricity, ray optics and modern physics carry the heaviest weight, so revise those chapters first.

How to Use This Solved Paper for Revision

Treat the paper as a timed mock first, then open the solutions to fix mistakes. Every answer on Zollege is broken into clear steps with the formula stated before it is used.

  • Attempt all 30 questions in one sitting under the real 3 hour 15 minute limit.
  • Mark yourself against the step-by-step solutions and note where marks slipped.
  • Redo any numerical you got wrong without looking, then move to the next set.
