In Panaji, the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has released the tentative schedule for the 2025 Class X and XII public examinations. According to the latest board announcement, the Class XII exams are expected to take place from February 1 to 15, 2025, while the Class X exams are scheduled from March 1 to 20 of the same year. The board has decided to advance the exam schedule for 2025 by about 28 days due to increasing temperatures attributed to global warming. This proactive move aims to address concerns raised during the 2024 board exams, where some students experienced discomfort and health issues due to the heat. Starting in 2025, all exams will be concluded before March 31, with results expected to be declared by the end of April. The board's decision to modify the exam schedule comes in response to incidents of students fainting and displaying symptoms like vomiting during previous exams. The adjusted timetable aligns with national timelines and brings it in line with central and state boards across the country.
