The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) has issued fresh dates for conducting the Goa HSSC Class 12 Board Exam 2025. The examination was scheduled to begin from February 1.
However, since the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) 2025 is tentatively scheduled around the last week of January 2025, the board has rescheduled the exam. The examination will now be held from February 10, 2025.
The decision has been taken after several concerns were raised by several Higher Secondary Schools, parents and local representatives regarding the limited preparation time available for the Board Examinations.
"The Board has carefully considered these concerns, recognising that JEE 2025 is expected to conclude by the end of January, leaving insufficient time for students to adequately prepare for their board exams," read the notification.
According to the board, the new schedule will ensure that JEE aspirants have ample time to focus on both their entrance and board examinations.
