HPSOS makes PCP attendance compulsory for March 2027 exams
The Story in Brief
The Himachal Pradesh State Open School (HPSOS) has made attendance at Personal Contact Programme (PCP) classes compulsory for fresh admission and additional subject candidates taking the March 2027 examinations. Classes run from 1 February to 18 February 2027, and study centres must submit reports to the board by 19 February 2027. Candidates who miss the sessions may not receive their admit cards, board chairman Dr Rajesh Sharma said.
All private HPSOS study centres must deposit their renewal fee with the board by 31 March 2027 or face withheld examination results. Centres must follow the revised rules and amended prospectus for the March 2027 session. Candidates should contact their study centres for the class schedule and updates.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Fresh admission and additional subject candidates who skip the February 2027 PCP classes risk being barred from the March exams, a consequence the board has tied directly to attendance rather than academic performance. The renewal fee deadline of 31 March 2027 gives study centres a two-month window, but missing it means results are withheld, creating a two-stage lock on candidates. What remains unresolved is how the board will handle genuine hardship cases or if any appeal process exists for candidates who miss classes for reasons beyond their control.
