HPBoSE postpones Class 12th board 2025 exams in remote snow-hit areas

They said that considering the difficulties faced by students, the school board has decided to postpone the Class 12 examination scheduled to begin on March 4 in the affected areas until March 8.

However, in the rest of the Himachal Pradesh region, the Class 12 board exams will proceed as per the original schedule from March 4.

“If weather conditions improve and examination materials reach the affected regions, exams will be conducted after March 8, simultaneously with the remaining exams in the state. Revised dates for postponed exams in Pangi and Lahaul-Spiti will be announced accordingly”, Board Secretary Vishal Sharma said.

In 2025, nearly 1.95 lakh students will appear for the Class 10 and 12 board exams. HPBoSE has increased the number of examination centres from 2,250 last year to 2,300 this year.

To ensure a fair examination process, apart from the board’s flying squads, other officials at different levels will also deploy their own flying squads to prevent cheating.

Further updates on rescheduled exams will be provided based on weather conditions and logistical arrangements, the officials said.
