In Panaji, the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has announced the preliminary timetable for the Class X and XII public exams in 2025. The schedule indicates that the Class XII exams are expected to take place from February 1 to 15, 2025, whereas the Class X exams are scheduled for March 1 to March 20 in the same year. The exam dates for both classes have been moved up by approximately 28 days in 2025, following the board's decision to advance the exams by three weeks to a month starting that year due to escalating temperatures from global warming. This shift aims to prevent discomfort experienced by students during the exams. The Goa Board has pledged to ensure that all exams for students conclude before March 31, 2025, and that all results will be released by the end of April. This adjustment is also intended to align Goa's exam schedule with national timelines, and bring it in line with other central and state boards across the country.
