The Telangana Board of Secondary Education (BSE Telangana) and the Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TSBIE) have officially released the examination schedule for the Supplementary Exams 2025. These exams are a golden opportunity for students who were unable to clear one or more subjects in the main board exams held earlier this year.
As thousands of students look forward to making the best of this second chance, the release of the supplementary exam timetable comes as a major relief. Let’s understand all the key details students and parents need to know about the upcoming exams—ranging from dates and eligibility to preparation tips and the importance of supplementary exams in shaping students' academic futures.
What are Supplementary Exams?
Supplementary exams, also known as compartment
or re-examinations, are conducted for students who did not pass
one or more subjects in their main board exams. In Telangana, these exams are
conducted separately for:
·
SSC (Secondary School Certificate)
– Class 10
· Intermediate (1st & 2nd Year) – Class 11 & 12
These exams help students avoid losing an entire academic year and provide them with a fair chance to improve their performance and continue their education without interruption.
