Assam Board Exams 2027: Class 10 and 12 Schedules Likely to be Rescheduled

The Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) has indicated that the upcoming High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) and Higher Secondary (HS) Final examinations for 2027 are likely to be rescheduled. This decision follows significant academic disruptions caused by severe flooding in several districts and the deployment of teaching staff for mandatory Census-related duties.

To ensure that students have sufficient time to cover their curriculum despite these challenges, the board has officially extended the duration of regular classroom instruction. This adjustment aims to provide schools with the necessary window to complete the syllabus before the final examinations commence.

Revised Academic Schedule and Exam Outlook

According to an official notification issued on September 8, 2026, the board has set new deadlines for the completion of classroom teaching. Regular classes for Class 10 students are now scheduled to continue until February 22, 2027. For students in Class 12, the instruction period has been extended until March 8, 2027. These changes were necessitated by concerns that the original academic calendar would not allow for the full completion of the syllabus, particularly in regions where schools faced prolonged closures during July and August.

The districts of Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, and Golaghat were among those most affected by the floods, leading to significant interruptions in the learning process. Furthermore, the engagement of high school and higher secondary teachers in Census operations throughout August and September further impacted the availability of instructional time. The board noted that without these extensions, it was unlikely that the Class 10 syllabus could be finished by the first week of February 2027, or the Class 12 syllabus by February 28, 2027.

Next Steps for Students

While the board has confirmed the extension of the teaching period, it has not yet released the final dates for the 2027 HSLC and HS Final examinations. The revised examination schedule will be determined and announced by the authorities in accordance with these new academic arrangements. Currently, the board has not confirmed whether the examinations will begin in March as they typically do in standard years.

Students preparing for the 2027 board examinations are advised to continue their studies according to the prescribed syllabus. The board is expected to provide further updates regarding the specific examination dates once the revised planning process is complete. Candidates should monitor official communications from the ASSEB for the latest information on their respective exam schedules.
