**New Delhi, [Date of Publication]** – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the dates for the 2025 Class 10 and 12 board examinations. Exams for both classes will commence on February 15th, 2025, with English for Class 10 and Entrepreneurship for Class 12. Approximately 44 lakh students are expected to participate.
The exams will be held in the morning shift, with most papers scheduled from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, and some extending to 1:30 pm. The date sheets are available for download on the official CBSE website, cbse.gov.in.
A significant change for the 2025 exams is the mandatory installation of CCTV cameras in all examination halls. CBSE issued a directive on September 27th requiring all affiliated schools to equip exam rooms with functional CCTV systems ensuring clear visibility of students and examination materials. Schools without CCTV facilities will not be permitted to host exams. This policy aims to ensure fair and smooth conduct of the large-scale examinations. The specific dates for each subject will be available on the CBSE website.
