MPBSE released the second exam admit cards for Class 10 and 12 on May 2, 2026 via the official MPONLINE portal (mpbse.mponline.gov.in). The admit card — often called the hall ticket — shows your exam centre, subject-wise dates and candidate details. Download and print it immediately because entry to the exam hall is not allowed without the printed copy.
Quick summary: What’s out and why MP Board Second Exam Admit Card 2026 matters
The Madhya Pradesh Board (MPBSE) has activated the admit card download on the MPONLINE portal. If you are appearing for the second exam (Class 10 or Class 12), you must use your application number or roll number and enter the captcha to access and download the PDF.
The admit card lists your exam centre, the dates for each subject, your roll/application number and other candidate details. These fields are used by centre staff to verify identity and seating, so any mismatch can cause problems on exam day.
When are the exams? Key dates and daily schedule
Here are the board-announced windows and daily timing you must note:
| Exam | Start Date | End Date | Daily Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 10 second exams | 7 May 2026 | 19 May 2026 | 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM |
| Class 12 second exams | 7 May 2026 | 25 May 2026 | 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM |
Because the paper duration is between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM , plan your travel and reporting time accordingly. Aim to reach the centre with a buffer for security checks and document verification — a safe target is to arrive at least 60–90 minutes before the exam starts, especially for unfamiliar centres.
Important pre-exam checklist (quick): have your printed admit card, keep a spare passport-size photograph, basic stationery allowed by the centre, and a transparent pouch for all items you carry.
Step-by-step: Download your MP Board Second Exam Admit Card 2026
- Open the official MPONLINE portal at mpbse.mponline.gov.in.
- On the homepage look for the admit card / examination section and the Second Exam Admit Card 2026 link.
- Click the link and enter your application number or roll number and the captcha exactly as shown.
- The admit card will display on-screen. Check all details carefully.
- Download the PDF and print a clear copy on A4 paper. Keep an additional printed copy as backup.
If you cannot find the admit card link, refresh the MPONLINE homepage menus or search for the examination/admit card area — the portal sometimes nests links under examination or enrollment forms.
What to check on the MP Board Second Exam Admit Card 2026 — fields that must be correct
When the PDF opens, verify these fields immediately:
- Candidate name and parent/guardian name
- Application number or roll number
- Candidate photograph and space for signature (if present)
- Complete exam centre name and address
- Subject-wise exam dates and paper codes
- Morning timing (the board has scheduled exams 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM )
- Any printed instructions (reporting time, prohibited items, COVID or safety notes)
If any of these fields look wrong or are missing, take action right away. Small errors like a misspelt name are common but need quick correction to avoid problems on exam day.
If something’s wrong or missing: practical next steps
First, contact your school’s examination coordinator or principal. Schools are the primary channel to report admit card errors to the board. Tell them precisely what is incorrect — name, roll number, photograph, centre address, or subject list.
If your roll number or application number is missing and you don’t remember it, check old exam receipts, fee payment slips, admission forms, or screenshots from when you applied. Your school maintains records and can retrieve these details quickly.
For a reprint or correction, the school will guide you on the board’s correction process and timelines. Start this immediately — do not wait until the last day. If the portal shows errors, ask the school to escalate with MPBSE through the official channel.
Problems downloading? Simple troubleshooting tips
Common issues students face are portal slowness, captcha errors and forgotten application/roll numbers. Try these steps:
- Switch to a different browser (Chrome, Edge or Firefox) or another device like a PC instead of a phone.
- Clear your browser cache or open an incognito/private window.
- Attempt downloads during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) when servers are less busy.
- If captcha fails repeatedly, type carefully and refresh the captcha image.
If all attempts fail, ask your school to provide a printed admit card or help you with the download. Keep screenshots of any error pages or timestamps; they help document your attempts.
What to carry to the exam centre and entry rules
The board has made the printed admit card mandatory. You cannot gain entry into the exam hall without it. Bring the original printed copy, not just a screenshot.
Carry at least one photo ID because centres may verify your identity. Suggested IDs: school ID card, Aadhaar, passport or government photo ID. Bring original ID and a photocopy as backup, and keep a spare passport-size photograph in case the invigilator asks.
Follow centre rules on stationery and transparent pouches. Items typically banned include electronic devices (phones, smartwatches), programmable calculators (unless allowed), notes, and any written material. Check the instructions printed on your admit card for specific banned items.
Day-of-exam timeline: from home to exam hall
Morning routine: check your printed admit card and photo ID before leaving. Dress comfortably and carry only permitted items. Leave home with enough time for traffic and security checks — factor in at least 60–90 minutes before the start time.
At the centre: expect document verification at the entrance. Centre staff will check the admit card against your name and roll number, seat you, and give invigilator instructions. Follow invigilator directions calmly; they will confirm seating and distribute question papers.
If you face last-minute issues like a missing page on the admit card or seating confusion, inform the centre superintendent or the invigilator immediately. Do not delay or argue; formal steps at the centre will resolve most practical issues.
Quick cheat-sheet: Admit card checklist (printable)
| Must-have items | Verify before leaving home |
|---|---|
| Printed admit card (original) | Name spellings and photograph |
| Valid photo ID (original + photocopy) | Roll/Application number |
| Passport-size photo (extra) | Exam centre full address and room number |
| Simple stationery in transparent pouch | Subject-wise exam dates and timings |
| Clear plastic water bottle (if allowed) | Invigilator instructions and reporting time |
Tick these off the night before. Keep one extra printed copy at home and one in your bag.
After the exam: keep your admit card and records safe
Retain your printed admit card and any school receipts until the board declares results. Admit cards often contain roll numbers and registration details you will need when checking marks or applying for re-evaluation.
Store a scanned copy and a clear photo of the printed admit card on your phone or cloud storage. If the board requests any post-exam verification or documentation, these copies save time.
Additional tips for differently-abled students and travel planning
If you require special arrangements, inform your school authorities well before the exam date. Schools handle requests for facilities like extra writing time, scribe assistance or separate seating, and they will coordinate with the board.
Plan extra travel time if your centre is far or if you rely on public transport. Confirm centre location in advance — visit the campus the day before if possible. Carry necessary medical items and any permission letters issued by the school.
