Class 10 exams will conclude on March 18, while Class 12 exams will end on April 4. This early release, occurring 86 days before the exams, aims to support around 44 lakh students across approximately 8,000 schools in India and abroad in their preparation.

The CBSE date sheets indicate that both Class 10 and Class 12 exams will start at 10:30 AM IST. For Class 10, the first subject is English on February 15, followed by Science on February 20, and Mathematics on March 10. Class 12 will begin with Physical Education on February 17, followed by major subjects like Physics and Chemistry. In a strategic move to facilitate better preparation, CBSE has grouped major examinations at the beginning of the schedule while distributing minor subjects throughout the remaining period. This approach aims to reduce student anxiety and enhance focus during crucial assessments.

Background and Context

This year marks a significant shift for the CBSE, as it has typically released exam schedules closer to examination dates. The decision to announce the timetable earlier is a direct response to feedback from students and educators who have called for improved preparation time. Practical examinations for Class 10 will commence on January 1, while those for Class 12 will align with theoretical exams starting February 15. Additionally, winter-bound schools have already conducted practicals from November 5 to December 5, ensuring all students are prepared ahead of time.
