UP Board Class 9 Exam Pattern 2027
All five core-subject syllabus PDFs for 2026-27 set the same overall split. The written paper is worth 70 marks and the school awards the remaining 30 through internal assessment spread across the year.
| Component | Marks |
|---|---|
| Written annual exam | 70 |
| Internal assessment | 30 |
| Total | 100 |
How the written paper is split
The Hindi syllabus divides the 70-mark paper into an objective section of 20 marks and a descriptive section of 50 marks. Other subjects list unit-wise marks rather than a section split, so check the model paper for your subject on the UPMSP website before the exam.
How the 30 internal marks are given
In Hindi, English and Mathematics, the 30 internal marks are made up of three parts of 10 marks each: two assessments set by the school during the year (for example oral expression and creative writing in the languages, or portfolio work in Mathematics) and a third part based on four unit tests. Science and Social Science award these marks through practicals, projects and unit tests instead (see their sections below). The unit-test schedule printed in these syllabi is:
| Unit test | Timing | Type | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| First | Second week of July | Multiple choice | 20 (10 for the test, 10 for summer homework) |
| Second | Last week of August | Descriptive | 20 |
| Third | Last week of November | Multiple choice | 20 |
| Fourth | Last week of December | Descriptive | 20 |
The total of the four tests is scaled down to 10 marks.
UP Board Class 9 Maths Syllabus 2026-27
Mathematics follows the NCERT-based course. The unit-wise marks below are from the UPMSP Mathematics syllabus for 2026-27 and add up to the 70-mark written paper.
| Unit | Marks |
|---|---|
| I. Number Systems | 12 |
| II. Algebra | 22 |
| III. Coordinate Geometry | 4 |
| IV. Geometry | 16 |
| V. Mensuration | 12 |
| VI. Statistics | 4 |
| Total | 70 |
Algebra is the heaviest unit, so polynomials and linear equations in two variables need regular practice. For internal assessment, every student prepares a project, and the project on the history of Indian mathematics is compulsory.

| Unit | Main topics | Marks |
