In view of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) 2025 that is expected to be held in the last week of January, the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) has rescheduled Class 12 board examinations dates.
The GBSHSE has released an official notice in this regard.
According to the GBSHSE notice, the Class 12 board examination will start from February 10, 2025 instead of February 1, 2025.
The Goa Board said that the decision has been taken to accommodate requests from several higher secondary schools, parents, and local representatives, who raised concerns regarding the limited preparation time available for the board examinations.
“The Board has carefully considered these concerns, recognizing that JEE 2025 is expected to conclude by the end of January, leaving insufficient time for students to adequately prepare for their Board exams,” the notice said.
