The Directorate of Government Examinations (DGE), Tamil Nadu, released the public examination timetable for the 2026-27 academic year on October 14, 2026. This schedule covers the Class 10 SSLC, Class 12 HSE Second Year, and Class 11 HSE First Year arrear examinations for 2027.

The announcement, made by Tamil Nadu School Education Minister A. Rajmohan, aims to provide students with the necessary schedule for upcoming public examinations, assisting them in planning their revision and preparation. The Class 11 timetable released is specifically for arrear candidates and should not be confused with a regular Class 11 public examination timetable.

Tamil Nadu Class 11 Arrear Exam Schedule and Pattern

The Class 11 HSE First Year arrear examinations for 2027 are scheduled to take place from March 5 to April 1, 2027. These exams will be held in a single morning shift across all school districts, from 10:00 AM to 1:15 PM, which includes reading and verification time. The DGE TN allocates 3 hours and 15 minutes for each paper, with specific timings for reading the question paper, verifying candidate particulars, and writing the examination.

Each subject in the Tamil Nadu 11th exam 2027 carries a total of 100 marks. For subjects with a practical component, theory marks are 70 and practical marks are 30. Non-practical subjects are primarily assessed through theory. Students need a minimum of 35% marks in each subject to pass. Those who do not achieve the passing marks can appear for the HSE 1st Year arrear exams held in June or July. The subject combination generally includes one language paper, a compulsory English paper, and core subjects selected according to the student’s stream.

Hall Ticket and Result Dates for Class 11 Arrear Exams

The Tamil Nadu 11th Hall Ticket 2027 is expected to be released in February 2027. Regular students can collect their hall tickets through their respective schools, while private candidates can download theirs through the official examination portal.
