School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi on Thursday announced the State Board examination schedule for Classes 10, 11, and 12.
The Class 12 exams will take place from March 1 to March 22, 2024. For Class 11, the exams will begin on March 4 and conclude on March 25. The Class 10 exams will begin on March 26 and end on April 8.
The practical exams for Class 10 will be conducted from February 23 to February 29. For Class 12, the practical exams will begin on February 12 and conclude on February 17. For Class 11, they will be held from February 19 to February 24.
The results for the Class 10, 11, and 12 exams will be announced on May 10, 14, and 6 respectively. The exams will be held from 10 a.m. to 1.15 p.m.
Mr. Mahesh Poyyamozhi said meetings were conducted to motivate the teachers to complete the training schedule and the syllabus by December.
However, the Tamil Nadu Graduate Teachers’ Federation (TNGTF) has written to the Minister and the Director of Government Examinations, seeking a change in the maths exam date for Class 10 as it falls right after Easter Sunday.
“Usually, we call the government school students for training before the exam date. As this is mathematics and the exam falls right after Easter Sunday, we cannot call the minority students or teachers as the festival would be important to them. Last year too, the government did the same with the English exam. These students would not have parental guidance and would require the additional training. The government must be mindful of this and change the dates,” TNGTF general secretary P. Patrick Raymond said.
