Rajasthan Board Shifts Exam Start Time to 10:30 AM for 2027

The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) has released the examination schedule for the 2027 academic cycle, introducing a significant shift in paper timings that will affect hundreds of thousands of students across the state. Class 10 and Class 12 examinations will begin on February 16, 2027, with papers now scheduled to start at 10:30 am, a change from the earlier 8:30 am slot.

The revised timing represents a departure from the board's traditional examination schedule and comes as education authorities continue to evaluate optimal conditions for student performance. The two-hour postponement of the morning session is expected to impact daily school routines and preparation schedules across Rajasthan.

The RBSE administers board examinations for lakhs of students annually across Rajasthan. Educational institutions across the state are expected to incorporate the new schedule into their academic calendars and student preparation plans. The complete examination timetable, including subject-wise paper dates and timings, is available on the board's official website for student and institutional reference.

Educators and students are advised to plan their examination preparation accordingly, taking into account the revised morning timings and the February 16 commencement date for both secondary and senior secondary level examinations.
