As reported by PTI, a revised examination schedule has been sent to the state education department proposing postponement of the board exams. As reported by PTI, WBBSE has urged the education department to consider shifting the board examinations from February 15 to 25 to March 2 to 16, 2027. Notably, the revised date sheet has yet to gain approval from the concerned department. "This is a proposal. Nothing has been finalised yet. As teachers who will conduct exams will have to be deployed for the enumeration exercise in February," Board president Laltu Das told PTI. The Census exercise is scheduled to begin on January 25 next year and will continue until February 28 "We have sent the proposal to the education department. Let's see," he added. WBBSE madhyamik examinations are scheduled from 10:45 AM to 2 PM, with 15 minutes allotted for reading the question paper. The answer writing will begin at 11 AM. The following is the unaltered examination schedule for the 2027 board exams: - February 15, 2027: First Language – Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Modern Tibetan, Nepali, Odia, Gurmukhi (Punjabi), Telugu, Tamil, Urdu and Sanskrit. - February 16, 2027: Second Language – Any language other than English, if English is the first language; Bengali or Nepali, if English is the first language. If the revised schedule is greenlit by the state education department, WBBSE will publish a fresh subject-wise examination calendar.
