Overview
- The Meghalaya Board of School Education published the SSLC timetable in mid-September and scheduled Class 10 theory papers from December 4 to December 16, 2026.
- The board set precise in-hall rules and timings with theory exams running 10:00 am–1:00 pm, vocational theory running 10:00 am–11:00 am, halls opening at 9:30 am, question papers distributed at 9:45 am and writing beginning at 10:00 am.
- Schools have been directed to complete online exam registration by September 30, 2026, and the board said it may recast dates if important state or central announcements coincide with the schedule.
- The official notice lists Indian language options and a broad roster of vocational subjects offered in place of Computer Science or Health & Physical Education, including Beauty and Wellness, Tourism, Electronics, Agriculture and Automobile Repair.
- Teachers, parents and students say the December shift compresses the teaching calendar, may force syllabus closures by October, and could leave a three- to four-month wait before Class XI admissions for students seeking seats in boards or institutions that start later.
