2026 — Paper not yet available: This year’s exam was held, but no source we check has published a verified question paper yet. We publish only a paper we can verify against a real printed original — this one will appear here once it is.

2021 — Exam cancelled (COVID-19): The MP Board (MPBSE) cancelled the Class-12 Higher Secondary examination in 2021 due to COVID-19; no annual question paper was conducted or printed that year, so none exists to publish. Results were declared using an internal-assessment formula.
