As the new academic year gains momentum, education boards across India are rolling out their exam schedules for the 2025-26 session. December has brought some clarity for Class 10 and higher secondary students in several states, with official timetables now available for download. This is a crucial time for students to map out their study plans, as these dates mark the gateway to the next phase of their academic journey. In this post, we’ll break down the latest announcements from BSE Telangana, Odisha BSE, and COHSEM Manipur—focusing on the key dates, timings, and tips to stay ahead. Note that while these boards have shared their March and February 2026 schedules, no major exam results or December-specific assessments have been declared yet.
The Board of Secondary Education (BSE) Telangana has officially released the timetable for the Telangana State Secondary School Certificate (TS SSC) exams, applicable to regular, OSSC, and vocational stream students. This announcement, made on December 10, 2025, gives Class 10 students across the state ample time to gear up for what promises to be a structured yet challenging exam period.

Pro Tip: Download the full PDF from the official BSE Telangana website (bse.telangana.gov.in) under the “Latest Notifications” section. Schools are advised to communicate this early to avoid last-minute rushes, and hall tickets are expected in February 2026.
For Telangana students, this schedule emphasizes a balanced spread of subjects, allowing time for revision between papers. With the exams stretching into April, focus on building stamina for back-to-back sessions.
In a timely update, the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) Odisha has unveiled the Annual High School Certificate (HSC) timetable for Class 10, covering both regular and ex-regular candidates. Released on December 5, 2025, this earlier start date compared to many other boards could give Odisha students a head start on post-exam planning.
The timetable prioritizes core subjects early, with languages leading the pack. While the full subject-wise breakdown is available on the BSE Odisha site, expect familiar faces like First Language (Odia/others), English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Science to dominate the two-week window.
Pro Tip: Head to bseodisha.ac.in, navigate to “Latest Notifications,” and grab the PDF. Admit cards will be issued closer to the date—keep an eye out in January. This compact schedule means intensive prep; aim to wrap up your syllabus by mid-January.
Odisha’s February launch aligns with a trend toward earlier exams, potentially easing the transition to higher secondary without overlapping holidays.
The Council of Higher Secondary Education, Manipur (COHSEM), has announced comprehensive datesheets for both Class 11 and Class 12 (HSE) exams, catering to Science, Arts, and Commerce streams. This December 8, 2025, release includes practicals, making it a one-stop guide for Manipur’s higher secondary students.
| Date | Subjects (Examples) |
|---|---|
| February 17, 2026 | English (Compulsory) |
| February 19, 2026 | MIL (Manipuri/others) or Alt. English |
| February 21, 2026 | Statistics, Human Ecology & Family Sciences |
| February 24, 2026 | Chemistry, Business Studies, Education |
| March 12, 2026 | History, Biology |
| March 14, 2026 | Geography, Geology |
| March 20, 2026 | Elective Languages (Bengali/Hindi/etc.) |
Class 11 follows a similar structure, with subjects like core sciences and humanities spread out. Schools with fewer than 10 candidates for practicals will be clubbed with nearby institutions.
Pro Tip: Visit cohsem.nic.in, log in via your school credentials for practical schedules, and download the annexures (HSE Timetable) directly. Submit examiner lists by December 10, 2025, to stay on track.
This extended March window for Manipur provides breathing room, especially post-practicals, but remember: consistency in mock tests will be your best ally.
While these releases are exciting, it’s worth noting that no boards have announced December 2025-specific exams or results yet—keeping the month geared toward holidays and light revision. Use this breather to consolidate notes and tackle weak areas.
With timetables from Telangana, Odisha, and Manipur now in hand, the 2026 exam season is taking shape. Whether you’re a Class 10 aspirant eyeing that perfect score or a higher secondary student prepping for college entrances, the key is a solid plan: Break down the syllabus by dates, practice past papers, and maintain work-life balance. Stay updated via official sites, and don’t hesitate to lean on teachers or peers.
