Jaipur: The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) is likely to postpone the 2027 Class 10 and 12 board examinations from Feb to March as a large number of teachers will be engaged in Census duties during the same period.RBSE chairperson Hanuman Singh said conducting examinations in Feb would not be possible due to the deployment of teachers for the national exercise.“A high-power committee will take the final decision, and we will decide the revised dates this month,” said Singh.According to the Census-2027 schedule, the house-to-house population enumeration will be conducted from Jan 25 to Feb 28. This will be followed by the enumeration of the houseless population and the revisional round from March 1 to 5. A large number of govt school teachers are expected to be deployed as enumerators and supervisors, affecting their availability for board examination duties.More than 20 lakh students are expected to appear for the 2027 board examinations across Rajasthan. Of these, around 11 lakh students will appear for Class 10 and equivalent examinations, while approximately nine lakh will take the Class 12 and equivalent examinations.This year, the board is also scheduled to conduct the second board examination for Class 10, making timely clarification of the examination calendar important.
