Himachal Pradesh School Education Board has started the application process for the State Open School (HPSOS) examinations scheduled for March 2027. Candidates can apply without late fee from 2 November to 30 November.
After that, a late fee of Rs 1,000 will be charged for applications submitted by 31 December, and Rs 2,000 for those submitted by 30 January. Board chairman Dr Rajesh Sharma said the SOS exams for classes 8, 10 and 12 will be conducted in March 2027.
Eligible candidates can also apply for re-appear, improvement of performance, fresh admission direct and without TOC, fresh admission with TOC, re-admission, and additional subjects.
The application window without penalty is exactly 28 days, after which fees escalate sharply. For re-appear and improvement candidates, the no-late-fee deadline is the same 30 November, meaning those who missed the earlier March cycle must act quickly. The board has not yet specified the exact March 2027 exam dates, leaving candidates to prepare without a fixed schedule. The key date to watch is 30 November, the last day for fee-free applications across all categories.
