Board Exam Dates 2027: Several education boards across India have announced their Class 10 and Class 12 examination dates for 2027, while others have released tentative schedules or examination windows ahead of the publication of detailed subject-wise timetables.
Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh are among the states that have recently announced their public examination schedules. Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal have also published examination timetables, while Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa have issued provisional schedules.
Students should distinguish between an officially announced examination period and a final subject-wise timetable, as some boards may revise their proposed dates before examinations begin.

The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has announced a tentative examination schedule for the 2026–27 academic year. The board has indicated February for Class 12 examinations and March–April for Class 10 examinations.
Students should wait for the detailed final timetable before treating individual examination dates as fixed.
The Central Board of Secondary Education has issued notices relating to registration and the submission of the List of Candidates for the 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations.
However, a final subject-wise 2027 date sheet could not be verified from the board's latest official notices reviewed for this report.
Students should follow cbse.gov.in for the official timetable rather than relying on dates circulating on social media.
For Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Bihar, final subject-wise Class 10 and Class 12 examination schedules could not be independently established from the official material reviewed for this report.
This does not establish that no notification has been issued. Students should check their respective examination boards for the latest updates.
What should students check before planning their preparation?
Students should confirm whether their board has released a final timetable, a tentative schedule or only an examination window. They should also check whether practical examinations have separate dates and whether the schedule applies to regular, supplementary or arrear candidates.
As more examination boards publish their schedules, candidates should rely on the latest notices issued by the relevant authorities.
