Gujarat Board Exam Date 2027: GSEB SSC and HSC Time Table Status and Key Dates

GSEB has not released the subject-wise 2027 time table yet. We checked gseb.org and the board's news page on gsebeservice.com on 3 November 2026, and the latest exam programme there is still the one for 2026.

The exam window itself is fixed. SSC (Class 10) and HSC (Class 12) board exams for all streams run from Thursday 25 February to Wednesday 17 March 2027. That comes from GSEB's school activity calendar for 2026-27, sent to all district education officers on 2 May 2026.

Gujarat Board exam dates 2027 announced so far

• Diwali vacation: 5 to 25 November 2026. The second term starts on 26 November.
• Prelim (second) exam, Std 9 to 12: 18 to 28 January 2027. For Class 10 and 12 it covers the full syllabus.
• School-level exams in board subjects, theory and practical, Class 10 and 12, all streams: 1 to 3 February 2027.
• Class 12 Science practical exams: 5 to 13 February 2027.
• SSC and HSC board exams: 25 February to 17 March 2027.

The calendar adds that these dates will change if the state government revises them, so treat them as final only until a new circular says otherwise.

How many days are left before the GSEB 2027 exams

Counting from the dates above, this is what the calendar leaves you:

• 114 days from 3 November 2026 to the first paper on 25 February 2027.
• 53 days between school reopening after Diwali (26 November) and the first prelim paper (18 January).
• 27 clear days between the last prelim (28 January) and the first board paper. School-level exams and Science practicals take up much of that stretch.
• For HSC Science students, only 11 clear days separate the last practical (13 February) and the first theory paper.
• The 2027 window is 21 days long. The 2026 window was planned at 19 days (26 February to 16 March) and stretched to 21 after the board moved the 4 March papers.
• The calendar lists 54 school working days across November, December and January of the second term (4, 26 and 24).

When will the GSEB 2027 time table be released?

No date has been announced. Last year the 2026 programme was out by 8 November 2025, nearly 16 weeks before the first paper, and exam registration ran alongside it until 6 December 2025. If GSEB keeps that rhythm, the 2027 timetable is due in November 2026. That is an expectation, not an announcement.

Check the news section of gsebeservice.com and gseb.org for it; the final 2026 programme was posted in that news section. A PDF forwarded on WhatsApp before it appears there is unverified.

What the 2026 GSEB timetable tells you about 2027

Until the new programme is out, last year's final one is the closest guide to how the papers may be spaced. In 2026, SSC papers ran from 10:00 am to 1:15 pm and HSC Science papers in the afternoon.

SSC (Class 10), final 2026 order:

• 26 Feb: first language (Gujarati, Hindi, English and others)
• 28 Feb: Science
• 6 Mar: Basic Maths; 9 Mar: Standard Maths
• 11 Mar: English (second language); 13 Mar: Gujarati (second language)
• 14 Mar: vocational subjects; 16 Mar: Hindi, Sanskrit and other second languages
• 18 Mar: Social Science (first set for 4 March)

HSC Science (Class 12), final 2026 order:

• 26 Feb: Physics
• 28 Feb: Chemistry
• 6 Mar: English (second language); 7 Mar: English (first language)
• 9 Mar: Maths
• 11 to 13 Mar: Computer Education and the first and second language papers
• 16 Mar: Biology

The pattern matters. In both timetables the first two papers had one free day between them. Later gaps were longer: an SSC student taking Standard Maths had eight free days after Science, and an HSC Science student had five between Chemistry and English (second language) on 6 March. So the subjects at the start of the window need to be fully revised before 25 February. The gaps later on are where you can pick up the rest.

GSEB HSC Science paper format and timing

The 2026 programme set out how each HSC Science theory paper runs. From 3:00 to 3:15 pm students fill in the OMR sheet and read the paper. Part A, 50 multiple-choice questions for 50 marks, is answered on the OMR sheet from 3:15 to 4:15. The next 15 minutes go on collecting OMR sheets and handing out answer books. Part B, 50 marks of written answers, runs from 4:30 to 6:30.

SSC papers of 80 marks had 15 minutes of reading time from 10:00 and three hours of writing from 10:15. Practise under those exact timings during the prelims, so the real paper feels routine.

Class 12 Commerce (General stream) time table 2027

Paper-wise dates for the General stream will come in the same GSEB programme. For now, Commerce students know the board window (25 February to 17 March), the school-level exams on 1 to 3 February and the prelims in January. Our guide to the Class 12 Commerce subjects in the Gujarat Board lists the compulsory and optional subjects in the stream.

A plan that fits the 114 days

• November, after Diwali: finish the chapters still pending and list the three weakest in each subject.
• December: complete the syllabus. HSC Science students should finish practical files and journals now, since practicals start on 5 February.
• January prelims: these cover the full syllabus. When papers come back, note where each mark went: a missing step, an unlabelled diagram, or a question you did not reach.
• February: school exams and practicals take the first two weeks. Science students then get 11 clear days; use them on the subjects that open the board window.
