BIEAP's provisional AP Inter 2027 timetable puts theory exams from February 24 to March 16, 2027, with practicals from February 1, reports said on October 23, 2026.
What Happened
The Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP) has released the provisional timetable for the Intermediate Public Examinations of February-March 2027, reports published on October 23, 2026 said. AP Inter first-year theory papers will begin on February 24, 2027 and second-year papers on February 25, with the last papers on March 15 and March 16. Practical examinations come first, from February 1, 2027, and the board has described the dates as tentative.
Key Facts
- AP Inter 1st year theory exams: February 24 to March 15, 2027.

- Theory papers are scheduled from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon.

- The board calls the schedule provisional; the full paper-by-paper table is on its website, bie.ap.gov.in.
- In the 2026 cycle, about 10.57 lakh students were expected to write the exams at 1,537 centres, the board's secretary said at the time.
Why It Matters
For roughly ten lakh students in Andhra Pradesh's junior colleges, the Intermediate examination is the gateway to almost everything that follows: engineering and medical entrance counselling, degree admissions and, for many, the first job application. Knowing the exact dates four months ahead lets students plan revision in blocks rather than cram, and lets families plan travel and festival commitments around the exam weeks.
The 2027 calendar starts a day later than the 2026 one. In 2026, first-year papers began on February 23 and second-year papers on February 24. This time the first-year exams open on February 24 and the second-year exams on February 25. The overall pattern stays the same: language papers first, then the core subjects, with the Modern Language papers closing the schedule.
The paper order matters for preparation. According to the published table, the second language comes first (Paper I for first-year students on February 24, Paper II for second-year students on February 25), followed by English (February 26 and 27). Mathematics Paper I for first-year students and Civics Paper I fall on March 1, and the second-year Paper II papers on March 2. The Modern Language papers close the cycle on March 15 and March 16. Students in the MPC (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) and BiPC (Biology, Physics, Chemistry) streams should check the exact dates for Physics, Chemistry and the Biology papers in the official table, since gaps between core papers decide how much revision time they get.
The practical exams fall in the first fortnight of February, three weeks before the theory papers, and the two short papers on Ethics and Human Values and on Environmental Education come even earlier, in the last week of January. Because these early dates sit apart from the main exam block, they are the ones students most often miss when they plan around the theory schedule alone.
What students should do next: download the timetable only from bie.ap.gov.in, note the practical dates your college assigns, and check that your name, photograph and subjects are correct when the board's hall tickets are issued. Because the board calls the schedule provisional, check the website again before travel or coaching plans are fixed.

Impact
Short-term: Junior colleges will now set revision and pre-final test calendars to fit the February 24 start, and students can plan the two January papers and the February practicals.
Long-term: Results from the March exams decide eligibility for state counselling and national admissions in 2027, so the timetable also shapes when results can be declared. In 2026, the board said results would come by April 19 after exams that ran to late March; an earlier finish in 2027 leaves room for a similar or earlier result date, though the board has not announced one.
Who is affected: Intermediate first-year and second-year students in Andhra Pradesh's government, aided and private junior colleges, vocational course students, private candidates, parents and college lecturers.
Key Takeaway
BIEAP's provisional 2027 timetable puts AP Inter theory exams between February 24 and March 16, with practicals from February 1 and two qualifying papers on January 27 and 29.
