The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) — the state education authority conducting Class 10 and 12 board exams for schools in Punjab — announced that Class 12 exam form submissions must close by 23 October 2026 (press releases dated 5 and 6 October 2026, pseb.ac.in). Submit and pay by this date to avoid all late charges. Forms remain open through early December, but a progressive late fee schedule applies after 23 October with escalating penalties.
You have approximately two weeks from the announcement date to file your form.
Class 12 exam fees for February–March 2027 are:
Exams run February–March 2027, though exact dates haven't been published yet. Fees cover all compulsory and elective subjects listed on your exam form.
Miss the 23 October deadline and late fees apply on a graduated scale:
| Submission by | Bank payment by | Additional late fee |
|---|---|---|
| 31 October | 6 November | ₹500 |
| 10 November | 17 November | ₹1,000 |
| 18 November | 25 November | ₹1,500 |
| 26 November | 3 December | ₹2,000 |
Note: Some sources initially reported conflicting figures for the first late fee (₹500 versus ₹5,000); most reporting sources cite ₹500. Confirm the exact amount with your school or pseb.ac.in if your submission will be late.
If your school submits your form on 20 November, your total is ₹2,450 (base exam fee) plus ₹1,000 (late fee for missing the 10 November deadline), equaling ₹3,450. If submission occurs on 30 November, your total is ₹2,450 plus ₹1,500, equaling ₹3,950.
Your school handles submissions, not you directly. Your principal or examination coordinator will:
You typically pay your school directly; they process payment on your behalf.
If your school uses the bank challan method, you'll receive a printed payment slip to deposit at a designated bank by 29 October 2026. Submit the receipt to your school as proof of payment. Missing this deadline doesn't prevent submission but moves your form into the late fee bracket starting 31 October.
PSEB requires 75% attendance to sit both written and practical exams. Your school's examination coordinator tracks this requirement. If your attendance is slipping, contact them immediately to explore remedies such as documented medical absences.
The form window doesn't close on 23 October—the penalty-free deadline ends. Forms remain open through approximately 26 November 2026, the last deadline before maximum late fees apply. Each missed deadline adds cumulative charges. Submit by 3 December 2026 and you'll face the maximum: ₹2,450 plus ₹2,000, equaling ₹4,450.
Your exams are scheduled for February–March 2027, giving you approximately four months to finalize preparation in Accountancy, Business Studies, and Economics. Use the form deadline as a milestone: once filed, pivot fully to content revision and practice.
Identify weak topics within each subject this month. Run full-length mock tests in November to assess readiness. Dedicate December and January to refining answers and practicing time management. Your school's pre-board exams will serve as your final rehearsal before the exam window.
