The changed dates have been announced and schools have been asked to alert students of classes X and XII accordingly. Since the changes came on Friday, schools have decided to alert students about them on Monday when the board-year students come in for their pre-boards or practice for laboratory practicals.
While for Class XII, dates have changed for physics, mathematics, and geography, Class X has new dates for science, mathematics (standard and basic), and Sanskrit. In most cases, the dates have been brought forward while in some the dates have been pushed back, schools said, adding that no reason has been given for bringing in these changes. However, since it has been done in advance, students will probably face no issues.
For Class XII, the physics exam has been pushed back from May 13 to June 8, mathematics has been brought forward by a day to June 1 and geography has been pushed back by a day to June 3. In the case of Class X, the science theory exam has been changed to May 21 from May 15, mathematics has changed from May 21 to June 2 and Sanskrit has been postponed by a day to June 3.
“We have made the relevant changes on the timetable accordingly and will first announce them to the students on campus on Monday and then post it on the school app so that the new timetable features all the changes,” said Indrani Chattopadhyay, vice-principal of DPS Ruby Park.
Incidentally, the biology examination of Class XII has clashed with the JEE Mains (fourth block) on May 24. Schools and students had hoped that the Board would change this date, but there has been no revision here. “This means that we will not have a choice beyond the third block. If the Board is changing so many dates, it should change the biology exam date too,” said Nirajana Nayak, a Class XII student.
“Why have these changes been done? We hope there are no more revisions. Keeping track is a major task,” said Tirthankar Mitra, whose son will appear for his Class X boards this year.
