Subject-Wise Schedule and Student Enrollment
The board has released a comprehensive day-by-day subject schedule to help students plan their final preparations effectively.
Class 12 Exam Schedule
The Higher Secondary exams kick off with the English paper. The subsequent days will see students appearing for languages including Bengali, Hindi, Kokborok, and Mizo on February 27. Major subjects are spread across March, with Business Studies, Education, and Physics on March 7, Accountancy, Biology, and History on March 13, and Mathematics and Philosophy scheduled for March 23. The exams will wrap up with vocational subjects on March 30.
Class 10 Exam Schedule
Similar to Class 12, the Madhyamik exams also begin with English. Key dates include Social Science papers on March 6, language papers on March 10, Science subjects on March 14, and both levels of Mathematics on March 19. The Class 10 board exams will conclude with vocational subjects on March 24.
According to TBSE Secretary Dr Dulal Dey, the current enrollment figures show a strong turnout. 38,135 students have registered for the Class 10 examinations, while 29,943 students have enrolled for the Class 12 exams. Dr Dey indicated that these numbers are provisional and may see a slight increase as the final registration window is still open.
Practical Exams and Registration Portal
In a significant update for students, Dr Dey announced that the practical examinations will be conducted from November 17 to December 1. This gives students ample time to complete the practical component of their syllabus before focusing solely on the theory papers.
The secretary also reminded students and schools that the TBSE online portal for examination registration is currently active and will remain open throughout the month. All eligible candidates are encouraged to complete their registration process promptly to avoid any last-minute complications.
Comparing the current enrollment with the previous academic year, the numbers show a healthy trend. Last year, over 21,000 Class 12 students and more than 30,000 Class 10 students appeared for their respective board examinations. The current figures suggest a similar or potentially higher participation rate for the 2025 examinations, reflecting the growing number of students in the state's education system.
