RBSE Cancels February 2027 Board Exams: New Dates Awaited, Model Papers Available Now
Published 14 Nov 20262 min read
The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) has ruled out February 2027 for the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. The board announced on 14 November 2026 that exams will no longer begin on 16 February 2027 as previously scheduled. No replacement dates have been announced yet .
The decision supersedes RBSE's 7 November announcement, which had set 16 February as the start date and shifted exam timing from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM .
Why February Was Ruled Out
The Census 2027 house-listing phase is scheduled from 25 January to 28 February 2027. This overlaps directly with the original board exam window. School buildings and staff are required for Census operations, making it impractical to conduct board exams simultaneously .
RBSE communicated the change through its official X account. The board has not indicated whether exams will shift to March, April, or later.
What Students Should Do Now
Remove 16 February from your calendar. The date is no longer valid. Do not plan revision schedules around it.
Use the model papers. RBSE has released model papers for the 2026-27 session. On the official website, navigate to 'Books/Old Papers/Model Questions', select your class and year, and download subject-wise papers. These include detailed marking schemes and question patterns .
Monitor the official portal. The revised timetable will be published on rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in once finalised. Check periodically rather than relying on social media forwards.
What Happens Next
The board has not announced a timeline for the revised schedule. Students should continue preparation without assuming a specific exam month. The two-exam policy announced earlier—a compulsory first exam and a May-June improvement window—has not been formally revised, but the February postponement affects the first exam's timing .
Candidates should also note that the 10:30 AM start time announced on 7 November may or may not carry over to the revised schedule. Wait for the official timetable before adjusting daily routines.
