Kerala announces SSLC, Higher Secondary exam dates for 2027
The Story in Brief
Education Minister N Samsudheen has announced the SSLC and Higher Secondary examination dates in Kerala. The SSLC exams will run from 1 March to 30 March 2027, starting at 9.30 am except on 8 March, which begins at 2 pm. Around 4.25 lakh students are expected to appear across 3,049 centres, including seven in Gulf countries and seven in Lakshadweep.
SSLC IT practicals are scheduled from 1 February to 15 February, with model exams from 16 February to 20 February. Answer sheet evaluation will run from 4 April to 27 April, and results are expected in the first week of May. Registration opens on 18 November.
Higher Secondary first and second-year exams, along with Vocational Higher Secondary and Kerala Kalamandalam exams, will begin on 2 March and end on 30 March. About nine lakh students are expected to appear. Exams on 12 March and 30 March start at 2 pm, all others at 9.30 am.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The schedule locks down the timeline for Kerala's 4.25 lakh SSLC and nine lakh Higher Secondary students. Practical and model tests in February set the school term's pace, while the April-to-May evaluation window gives the education department a tight 27 working days to process over 13 lakh answer scripts. With centres in the Gulf and Lakshadweep, the state is accommodating its diaspora. The 18 November registration start means schools have roughly two weeks to complete entries. Any delay in the May result release will directly affect college admissions and school-level transfers.
