The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) has rescheduled the Class 12 examination to avoid a clash with the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main) 2025. Earlier the Goa Board examination 2025 was scheduled for February 1, as per the announcement the date is shifted to February 10.
The decision is taken in the interest of students who would not get sufficient time to prepare in case JEE Main gets scheduled for the last week of January.
“The board has carefully considered these concerns, recognizing that JEE Main 2025 is expected to conclude by the end of January, leaving insufficient time for students to adequately prepare for their board exams. The rescheduled date will ensure that JEE aspirants have ample time to focus on both their entrance and board exams. The circular should be prominently displayed on the notice board for the information of all concerned.” read the notification by the Goa Board.
The board also attached a revised tentative schedule for general and vocational streams of Class 12, which students can visit the official website and print out. The examination will begin at 9.30 am each day. The exact sub-center and places where the examination will be held at each center will be announced at a later date.
For the general stream, the practical examination will be conducted on January 8, while for the vocational stream students, the audit will take place on the above-mentioned dates. It is also mentioned that under no circumstances, the examination will be postponed even if it is a public holiday.
