UP Board compartment form fees and payment methods
These amounts are for one subject; if the board allows more subjects (as per notification), the fee is usually multiplied per subject.
Fee may slightly vary by year; always confirm from the latest UPMSP notice on upmsp.edu.in.
Accepted payment methods
Bank challan payment (most common)
After filling the online or offline compartment form, generate a challan (often from the portal or school).
Deposit the exact fee (₹256.50 for Class 10, ₹306 for Class 12) in designated treasury account at SBI/UP cooperative bank or any bank mentioned in the challan.
Keep the original challan receipt as proof and attach it with your application form.
School‑level collection (cash/D.D. in some cases)
Many schools collect the compartment fee directly from students in cash or via demand draft, then pool and deposit the total amount via challan on behalf of candidates.
Students still need to retain a receipt or school‑generated acknowledgment.
Online payment (where enabled)
In recent years UP Board has started allowing online fee payment integrated with the compartment‑form portal; candidates pay via net banking/card/UPI and download the payment slip.
If online mode is available for your year, follow the exact instructions under “Payment” on the compartment portal.
What to do after payment?
Submit the filled compartment form + challan/receipt (online or physical) to your school or regional UPMSP office before the last date.
After processing, the board will issue the UP Board Compartment Admit Card, which can be downloaded from upmsp.edu.in using your roll number.
