The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) has proposed revising the Madhyamik Examination 2027 schedule. According to the latest update, the board has sent a revised timetable to the state government's School Education Department, suggesting that the Class 10 board examinations begin on March 2 instead of February 15, 2027.
The proposed change would postpone the examination by approximately 15 days. Under the revised proposal, the examinations may continue until March 16, 2027. However, students should note that the new dates have not received final government approval.
Students can also refer to the previously published Madhyamik Routine 2027 to understand the original examination schedule released by WBBSE.
According to the proposed timetable reported on November 2 and November 3, 2026, the Madhyamik examinations may begin on March 2 and conclude on March 16, 2027.
The proposed subject-wise examination dates are provided below.
| Date | Subject |
|---|---|
| March 2, 2027 | First Language |
| March 3, 2027 | Second Language |
| March 5, 2027 | History |
| March 8, 2027 | Geography |
| March 12, 2027 | Mathematics |
| March 13, 2027 | Physical Science |
| March 15, 2027 | Life Science |
| March 16, 2027 | Optional Elective Subjects |
Note: These dates are part of the proposed schedule and are not officially finalised. The examination dates for Physical Education, Social Service and Work Education are expected to be announced separately by WBBSE.

The proposed postponement of the Madhyamik Examination 2027 is linked to the upcoming Census 2027 operations. The Census exercise is scheduled to begin on January 25, 2027, and continue until February 28, 2027.
According to media reports, a large number of schoolteachers may be deployed for census-related responsibilities during this period. Teachers are also required to supervise board examinations and perform invigilation duties.
Conducting the Madhyamik examinations during the same period could create administrative difficulties for the board, particularly in arranging sufficient teachers at examination centres.
To address these concerns, WBBSE has reportedly proposed shifting the Class 10 board examinations from February to March 2027.
Students can also explore West Bengal Board Class 10 preparation resources for syllabus-based learning, revision videos and online courses.
The revised Madhyamik examination schedule has been forwarded to the West Bengal School Education Department for consideration. However, the proposal has not received final approval.
Students should continue checking the WBBSE Class 10 Notification 2026-27 for important examination-related announcements, including enrolment, examination dates, admit card updates and other official notifications.
Once the state government approves the revised timetable, WBBSE is expected to publish the final Madhyamik Routine 2027.
Students should not pause their preparation while waiting for the final examination schedule. Instead, they should continue following their existing study plans and use the additional preparation time, if the postponement is approved, for revision and practice.
Students can follow these preparation strategies:
Complete the syllabus: Cover all prescribed chapters and topics before starting intensive revision.
Practise previous-year questions: Solve previous Madhyamik papers to understand question formats and important topics.
Attempt mock tests: Take timed tests to improve speed, accuracy and examination readiness.
Revise difficult subjects: Give additional attention to Mathematics, Physical Science and other subjects that require regular practice.
Follow the updated schedule: Adjust your revision timetable only after WBBSE officially announces the revised examination dates.
Students can check the WBBSE Class 10 Syllabus 2026-27 to review the prescribed subjects and chapters before planning their revision.
For English preparation, students can also refer to the WBBSE Class 10 English Syllabus 2026-27 to organise literature, grammar and writing practice.
