Attukal Pongala Trust seeks rescheduling of CBSE Class 10 examination
The Attukal Bhagavathy Temple Trust has urged the Central government to reschedule the CBSE Class 10 Science examination scheduled for February 22, 2027, as it coincides with the Attukal Pongala festival in Thiruvananthapuram.
The CBSE Class 10 Science examination is scheduled to be held from 10.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m on February 22. With the examination coinciding with the Pongala celebrations, students could face serious difficulties reaching their examination centres on time.
The Temple Trust has maintained that the Pongala festival, observed on the auspicious day Pooram star during the Malayalam month of Kumbham, cannot be shifted. Hence, rescheduling the examination is the only practical solution. The issue has already been brought to the attention of Union Minister of State for Tourism Suresh Gopi and Thiruvananthapuram MP, Shashi Tharoor.
