Rajasthan Board postpones Class 10 and 12 exams scheduled for February 2027

The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education has changed the examination schedule due to upcoming Census-related activities.

The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE), Ajmer, has postponed the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations that were originally set for February 2027, according to reports by India Today, The Times of India and The Indian Express.

The board announced the change on November 14 via its official X account, stating that the exams will no longer be held in February because of Census 2027 work. The Census exercise is scheduled to begin on January 25, 2027, with the house-listing phase continuing until February 28.

The decision replaces a schedule announced on November 7, which had stated that examinations would start on February 16, 2027. That previous plan also included a shift in start times from 8:30 am to 10:30 am.

The RBSE has not yet provided the new dates for the examinations. Students can find the updated subject-wise timetable on the official board website, rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in, once it is published.

In the meantime, the board has made model question papers available on its website for students to practice. To pass the examinations, students must secure at least 33 per cent marks in each subject and pass the theory and practical or internal assessment components separately.
