The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the datesheet for the Class 10 and 12 board exams for the 2025 session soon. The exams will begin on February 15, 2025, continuing through March, following the traditional pen-and-paper format. Practical exams for Class 12 will be conducted under the supervision of external examiners, while Class 10 practicals will be monitored by internal school staff.
CBSE has already initiated the registration process, with schools required to submit the List of Candidates (LOC) by October 4, 2024, via the Pariksha Sangam portal. This online platform facilitates the seamless registration and management of examination-related activities. Students should remain vigilant and check the official CBSE website for the official release of the datesheet, which will be available under the “Latest Announcements” section. Once released, students can download the exam schedule in PDF format for easy reference.
Moreover, CBSE is contemplating significant changes to its examination pattern based on the new National Curriculum Framework (NCF). The board is exploring options for conducting two rounds of board exams annually. If approved, these exams may be held in a January-February and March-April timeline, with supplementary exams scheduled for June. This shift would align with the semester-based system proposed by the NCF, offering flexibility for students and allowing them to improve their performance across multiple attempts. However, this decision is still under consideration, and official confirmation is awaited.
The potential biannual exam schedule reflects CBSE’s efforts to modernize the Indian education system, providing students with more opportunities to excel. CBSE advises all students and educational institutions to closely follow its updates on the official website for accurate and timely information regarding the upcoming exams.
