Why Have The February 2027 Exams Been Delayed?

The board explained that the exams have been delayed as they are clashing with activities for the 2027 Census. The Census 2027 schedule shows that the House Listing and Housing Census will be taking place between the 25 th January and the 28 th February 2027.

With large-scale exams needing organisation between staff, centres and admin, the board have decided to change their original dates. However, the board have not announced the new dates for exams. Students should not assume they will be taking place in March or any specific month.

What Was The Original RBSE Class 10 & 12 Exam Dates For 2027?

The board previously announced that the RBSE Class 10 & 12 Board Exams would be starting on the 16 th February 2027 on the 7 th November. They also announced that exams would be starting at 10.30am instead of 8.30am.

However, this has now been overruled by the announcement on the 14 th November. Students should therefore be awaiting the updated subject-wise timetable.
