When will PSEB practical exams occur in 2027?
Both Class 10 and Class 12 practical exams usually run from the last week of January to the middle of February. The Class 10 (Matric) theory exams are usually held in March, and the Class 12 (Senior Secondary) exams start in February and run into March or early April.
The practical exams, particularly for Science and Computer students, are generally held a few weeks prior to the theory papers, generally in January or early February.
Check pseb.ac.in and your school notice board for the official announcement.
How to find your PSEB date sheet
Once PSEB releases the date sheet, this is how to get it:
Access the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) website at https://www.pseb.ac.in.
On the homepage, there should be a section called Date Sheet or Examinations.
Click the link for your class, Matric (Class 10) or Senior Secondary (Class 12).
Get the PDF file and save the file on your phone or get a printout.
Schools also circulate the date sheet through notice boards, SMS and class groups, so check there too.
Tips to prepare once the dates are out
Once the dates are known, build the plan around them:
Write a backward study plan: It goes in the reverse order, beginning with your first exam date and then planning activities for the day and week.
Discuss hard topics early: Devote more time to those things that are not easy - prepare early and there will be less stress later.
Make achievable objectives: You should not cram but have small attainable goals in a day.
Work well with the gaps: In case you have a day or two between exams, go through important notes, formulas or diagrams instead of reading new chapters.
Practice past-year papers: This is done to learn how to answer questions and time oneself.
Breaks: Study not longer than 45-60 minutes and then take a short break to get yourself refreshed.
Keep fit: Revision is as important as a good night sleep and good meals.
