BHUBANESWAR: The Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, has extended the deadline for the form fill-up and enrolment process for the Annual Higher Secondary Examination 2027 without any late fee penalty.
According to the latest notification issued by CHSE Controller of Examinations Dr Prasanta Kumar Parida, the deadline, originally set for November 11, has now been pushed to November 14. The revised timeline covers regular students from the Arts, Commerce, Science and Vocational streams, including those enrolled in correspondence courses
Official sources indicate that the decision followed severe logistical disruptions caused by Cyclones ‘Arnab’ and ‘Murasu’, which impacted connectivity and administrative operations across several districts in Odisha.
The CHSE took the decision after evaluating numerous formal representations and urgent requests submitted by school principals, student bodies, and parent associations seeking additional time to complete the necessary formalities.
School authorities, principals, and institution heads across the state have been instructed to expedite the submission process and ensure all eligible regular candidates complete their enrolment within the revised window without levying late fees.
CHSE administrative officials have further clarified that all other previously announced schedules, guidelines, and subsequent timelines for the 2027 Plus Two examinations will remain unchanged.
CHSE warned that non-compliant institutions could lose their examination centre status for theory and practical tests.
