The exams for Class 10 students will commence on March 14, 2026, starting with the First Language paper. The Second Language exam will follow on March 18, 2026, offering students a three-day preparation window between the two major subjects.
The Directorate of Government Examinations (DGE) confirmed that the schedule applies to SSC, OSSC (Open School SSC), and vocational candidates, and will remain unchanged even if public or general holidays coincide with exam dates. All examinations will be held from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm across designated centres in the state.
Exam Schedule Highlights
- March 14, 2026: First Language

Most subjects include a 3–4 day gap to help students prepare effectively and reduce stress during the examination period.
Important Objective Paper Instructions
- A senior official from the board reiterated crucial guidelines for attempting Part B (Objective Section) of the question papers:
- For all subjects except English and Science, the objective section must be attempted only in the last 30 minutes.
- For Physical Science and Biological Science, students should complete the objective portion in the last 15 minutes.
- For English, the objective section must be answered along with Part A, unlike other subjects.
