Class 10th board exam will start from 1st week of April 2012 instead of scheduled date in March. The decision was takes to help teachers complete the school syllabus and help students in revision of courses before the exam.

There was delay in implementing Samacheer Kalvi common syllabus and most students could not get books. So the board has rescheduled dates to combat this delay. Class 12th exam will happen on time i.e from 1st week of March 2012.
