# Rajasthan class 9 to 12 half-yearly exams rescheduled to 25 November 2026-10-09T00:10:18+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Rajasthan’s half-yearly exams for classes 9 to 12 under the state-level uniform examination plan will now be held from 25 November to 7 December. Secondary education director Lalit Kumar issued the order on Thursday, 8 October. The exams were originally scheduled from 15 October to 27 October. The state education department was forced to revise the timetable at short notice because of the panchayat elections. With the half-yearly exams now stretching into December, the main examinations are likely to be held only in February. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The revised schedule pushes the half-yearly exams into December, compressing the academic calendar and leaving less than two months between the half-yearly and the final examinations now likely in February. Students and teachers face a tighter revision window, especially for board-year classes. The change, driven by the panchayat election logistics rather than academic planning, means the department adopted a reactive rather than preparatory approach. The next milestone to watch is whether the February main examination dates slip further as a consequence of this cascade. ## Coverage - amarujala.com Leads with the rescheduling fact, attributes reason to election logistics This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
