The exams that were earlier scheduled for April 12, 2025, will now be conducted on April 21, 2025.

Accordingly, all secondary and higher secondary schools in the state are to be informed to reschedule the class 9 and 11 annual examinations scheduled for 12/04/2025.” The complete notice can be read here.According to the Gujarat State Education Department's academic calendar for 2024–25, the Class 9 and Class 11 annual examinations are being conducted between April 7 and April 19, 2025.
