"Excellence in Evaluation, Integrity in Certification"
Welcome to the official portal of the State Board of School Examinations, Tamil Nadu.
As the body responsible for conducting the state's most critical public assessments—including the SSLC (Class 10) and Higher Secondary (Class 11 & 12) examinations—our primary mandate is to ensure a system that is robust, transparent, and student-centric.
Our Commitment The Board is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in the conduct of examinations. We strive to create an environment where every student is assessed fairly, reflecting their true academic potential. We understand that these certifications are not just pieces of paper, but stepping stones to higher education and future careers.
For the Students To the millions of students appearing for our board exams: approach your assessments with confidence, not fear. The examination system is designed to test your understanding and application of knowledge. We are continuously working to simplify administrative processes—from hall ticket generation to the distribution of mark sheets—ensuring that your focus remains solely on your studies.
Digital Transformation In line with the Tamil Nadu government's vision for digital governance, the Board has implemented various e-initiatives. Services such as the online verification of mark sheets, migration certificates, and duplicate certificate issuance have been streamlined to make them accessible and hassle-free for students and alumni.
Open Schooling (TNOS/TNSOS) For our private candidates and learners under the Open Schooling stream, we remain committed to providing flexible learning opportunities. Education is a lifelong journey, and our goal is to ensure that no learner is left behind due to a lack of access to formal schooling credentials.
We wish all students the very best in their academic endeavors.
Jai Hind.
