PSEB Class 10, 12 board exams 2027 registration schedule released; apply by October 29

The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) on October 6, 2026, released the registration schedule, fees, and deadlines for Class 10 and 12 regular board examinations for students appearing in the 2027 academic session. The forms for the February-March 2027 examinations are now available, providing essential details for students across Punjab.

This announcement includes key dates for form submission, fee structures, and significant changes to the Class 12 science stream syllabus and question paper pattern, aligning some aspects with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) format. Schools have been directed by the Punjab Board to ensure timely completion of examination forms and fee submissions.

Registration Deadlines and Fees

The PSEB has outlined specific deadlines for the submission of examination forms for both Class 10 and 12 regular board exams for 2027. Students are required to complete their registration and fee payment within these dates to avoid late fees. The examination fee for Class 12 is Rs 2,450, which includes Rs 2,050 for the examination itself and an additional Rs 400 for a hard copy and digitised soft copy of documents.

A late fee of Rs 500 will be applicable for registrations submitted after the initial deadline. The board has emphasised the importance of adherence to these dates for all schools and students.

Changes in Class 12 Science Stream

Significant changes have been introduced for the Class 12 science stream question papers and syllabus for the 2027 board exams. The pattern of these papers will now be similar to that of CBSE, aiming for greater alignment in educational standards. Minor adjustments to the syllabus include the removal of certain topics.

Specifically, Chapter 1, ‘Solid State’, has been removed from the Class 12 Chemistry syllabus, along with the topic ‘Group of 15 P-Block Elements’. Additionally, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) carrying 10 marks have been introduced in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. A practical exam worth ten marks has also been added to the Mathematics curriculum for Class 12.

Attendance Requirement and Supplementary Exams

The Punjab School Education Board has made 75% attendance mandatory for students appearing in both Class 10 and 12 board exams in 2027. This requirement underscores the board’s emphasis on regular classroom participation.

In related news, the PSEB Class 12 supplementary exams for the 2026 academic session were conducted from July 4 to 6, 2026. The Class 10 supplementary exams were held from July 6 to 16, 2026. Results for these supplementary examinations were anticipated to be released shortly after September 3, 2026.

Comparison with Rajasthan Board

While PSEB has announced its schedule, the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE) is implementing a new system for its 10th Board Exam 2027. The RBSE 10th Board Exam 2027 will be conducted twice in the 2026-27 academic session. The first examination is scheduled for February-March 2027, followed by a second remedial examination in May 2027.

This new system allows students to appear for improvement in a maximum of three subjects in the remedial exam, with the higher marks obtained in each subject across the two examinations being considered for the final result. Students falling short of minimum passing marks in a maximum of two subjects in the RBSE 10th main exam may receive provisional admission to Class 11.
