Manipur board exams 2027: HSLC from Feb 10, Class 12 HSE from Feb 11

Manipur's two school boards have announced the dates for the 2027 board examinations, giving Class 10 and Class 12 students about three months to prepare.

The Board of Secondary Education, Manipur (BSEM) will hold the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) examination for Class 10 from February 10 to February 25, 2027. The Council of Higher Secondary Education, Manipur (COHSEM) will hold the Higher Secondary Examination (HSE) for Class 12 from February 11 to March 19, according to The Indian Express and Careers360.

Class 10 HSLC: key dates and timings

The HSLC exams open with English on February 10, and Mathematics is the last paper on February 25. All papers are in the morning. Papers carrying 80 marks will run for three hours, from 9 am to 12 noon, while papers carrying 48 marks will run for two hours, from 9 am to 11 am.

Class 12 HSE: key dates and timings

The HSE begins on February 11 with MIL or Alternative English and ends on March 19 with Anthropology and Psychology. Three-hour papers, carrying 70, 80 or 100 marks, will be held from 10 am to 1 pm, and two-hour papers carrying 40 marks from 10 am to 12 noon.

Careers360 reported that COHSEM's practical examinations for Class 12 will be held from January 2 to January 30, before the theory papers begin.

Where to get the full timetable

The full subject-wise schedules can be downloaded from the boards' official websites: bsem.nic.in for the HSLC and cohsem.nic.in for the HSE. Admit card dates have not yet been announced. Students should treat the official PDFs as final, because subject codes and any later revisions will appear there first.

What students should do now

With the first paper about 13 weeks away, teachers generally advise students to finish the syllabus by the end of December and use January for revision and practice papers. Class 12 science students will also need to plan around practicals, which come first.

The Manipur timetable comes a day after the Mizoram Board of School Education announced its 2027 schedule, with HSSLC exams from February 8 and HSLC exams from February 10 (see NEInsider's report: https://neinsider.com/mizoram/mbse-2027-routine-out-hsslc-from-feb-8-hslc-from-feb-10-c9c520).
