The Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, has announced the form fill-up schedule for the 2027 Class 10 Annual High School Certificate (HSC) Examination. The process for regular and ex-regular students will begin on November 2, 2026, and conclude on November 21, 2026. While school heads will manage online submissions for most categories, correspondence course students will complete the process offline through regional offices.

Additionally, the BSE Odisha has released the results for the 2026 National Rural Talent Scholarship (NRTS) Examination. Out of 56,957 applicants, 55,202 students appeared for the exam held in September. The scholarship is designed to support meritorious students in rural and recognized secondary schools across the state.

In a separate development, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) clarified the examination structure for the 2028 Class 10 batch. Students will have five compulsory subjects, with an option to take an additional skill paper in areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, or healthcare. This skill paper is intended to assist students in passing the examination if they struggle with core subjects like mathematics or science.
