AHMEDABAD: Board exams of class X and XII will begin from March 5, 2012. The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary education Board (GSHSEB) has scheduled the exams a week earlier compared to last year when the exam were held on March 12.
Board officials said that 9.5 lakh students will appear in SSC exams while 3.25 lakh students will appear in the HSC exams. Officials said that the detailed programme including the time table of the exams will be declared on Monday.
Meanwhile, the GSHSEB will conduct the second semester exams of class XI (science) stream from April 16, 2012.
The Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET) for HSC (science) students will be held on April 5, 2012. The marks scored in this exam will be used for admission to professional courses including medical, engineering and pharmacy.
Officials said that the SSC and HSC exams have been scheduled in such a way that the students get a holiday ahead of each main paper so that they get enough time to prepare for the exams and are not stressed to revise the course within limited hours. The board exams will be completed by March 21, 2012.
The schools will then schedule their final school exams in April. In February, the schools will organize the prelim exams.
Like last year, nearly 50 per cent of the questions of SSC exams will be multiple choice questions and will be checked through Optical Mark Reader (OMR).
The schools will be required to conduct the exams of two optional subjects of SSC and submit the marks obtained to the board.
Officials said that planning of the SSC and HSC exam schedule early enables both students and the board to prepare for the board exams better. Since the exam dates are known, the result and resultant admission timings can also be planned, officials said.
