**NEW DELHI** – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the exam schedule for the 2025 Class 12 board examinations, marking a significant change in its release timeline. The datesheet, available for download at cbse.gov.in, reveals that exams will begin on February 15th, 2025, and conclude on April 4th, 2025. This is a full eight weeks earlier than in previous years, giving students a substantially longer preparation period.

Approximately 44 lakh students from 8,000 institutions are expected to participate in the exams, which will be held in a single session from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. Some exams will be two hours long, concluding at 12:30 pm. The CBSE has ensured sufficient breaks between subjects.

The early release of the datesheet—a departure from the previous practice of releasing it just 23 days before the exams—aims to allow students ample time for preparation and for schools to submit student records on time. The Class 10 exams will also begin on February 15th, 2025, and end on March 18th, 2025. The schedule applies to all streams (Arts, Commerce, and Science). The CBSE website provides detailed instructions on how to access the datesheet.
