Gujarat Board 10th and 12th Exam 2021 Postponed: The Gujarat Board of State Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE), decided to postpone the GSEB 10th and GSEB 12th Board Exam 2021 by two months. According to the revised notification, Gujarat Board Exams 2021 will be held in the month of May considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Generally, the GSEB Class 10 Board Exams and GSEB Class 12 Board Exams begin in the first week of March, but this year owing to the unprecedented times of COVID-19, the board decided to postpone the exams and commence it in May 2021.

The Gujarat Board announced that a total of 16 lakh students are due to appear for the Class 10 and Class 12 Board Exams that are to be held this year. Of the total number, around 10 lakh students are due to appear for the Class X exam while the rest 6.3 lakh students would be appearing for the Class XII exam. The decision to postpone GSEB Board Exams 2021 by two months is taken to give additional time to the students to prepare well for the upcoming exams. For the 2020 session, a sizable portion of the academic year is lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown that was announced to manage it.

Meanwhile, the Gujarat State Government also announced a 21-day Diwali Vacation earlier this year, hinting at a relatively longer duration for the second session or post-Diwali session. In line with this, the state board announced that the second session for GSEB 10^th and 12^th Class students will be of 155 days i.e. an extension of over 40 days over the usual 115 to 120 days post-Diwali session.
