West Bengal Board Proposes Postponing 2027 Class 10 Exams to March Due to Census
The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) has proposed postponing the 2027 Madhyamik (Class 10) examinations from the originally scheduled February 15–25 to March 2–16. This proposal aims to avoid conflicts with the Census 2027 enumeration exercise, which requires many teachers' deployment from late January through February. The revised schedule awaits final approval from the state School Education Department. The board has also indicated that the Higher Secondary exams may be rescheduled to maintain compatibility with the Madhyamik timetable.
