The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to release the date sheet for the Class 10 and 12 board exams soon. While no official notification has been issued, the exams are likely to begin on February 15, 2025, and conclude in April.

This follows the trend established in recent years, with the board exams starting on February 15th since 2023. The date sheet will include exam days, dates, timings, and general instructions for students. The exams will be conducted in pen and paper format.

CBSE will also release a separate date sheet for practical examinations. Class 12 practical exams will be overseen by external examiners visiting schools, while Class 10 practical exams will be conducted by school teachers.

In preparation for the exams, CBSE has announced a mandatory Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) policy for examination centers. Around 44 lakh students from across India and 26 countries are expected to participate in the 2025 exams, which will be held in approximately 8,000 designated schools.

CBSE has also issued a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to assist affiliated schools in submitting the List of Candidates (LOC) accurately and on time.

Meanwhile, CBSE is exploring a semester system involving biannual exams, but no final decision has been made on its implementation. The current board exams for Classes 10 and 12 are conducted in February-March.
