Gujarat announces to hold board exams for Classes 10, 12 from May 10

The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) Wednesday announced board exams for classes 10 and 12 will commence from May 10. The state board’s announcement came a day after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released its schedule for secondary and higher secondary exams.

According to the date sheet released by the state education board, class 10 exams will be held between May 10 and 20 from 10 am to 1.15 pm. Science stream exams for class 12, it stated, will be held in the evening shift, from 3



pm to 6.30 pm, between May 10 and May 21. The exams for class 12 general streams will be held in three shifts — 10.30 am to 1.45 pm, 3 pm to 6.15 pm and vocational tests from 3 pm to 6 pm — and continue till May 25, it added.

“We had earlier planned to hold the board exams in May, but after the CBSE declared its exam schedule we thought that if we delay (the announcement) it would only lead to anxiety among students. So, to avoid that we announced the date sheet today,” Gujarat Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama said.
