**NEW DELHI** – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the datesheets for its Class 10 and 12 board examinations, providing nearly 44 lakh students with a significant head start on their preparations. Class 12 exams will commence on February 15, 2025, and conclude on April 4, 2025, with the majority of exams scheduled for the morning session. Class 10 exam dates will be available on the CBSE website.

This year marks a significant change, with the datesheet released a record 86 days before the commencement of the exams. The CBSE aims to alleviate student stress by providing ample preparation time and ensuring no student faces more than two exams on a single day, despite the vast number of subject combinations.

Practical examinations and internal assessments for both Class 10 and 12 will begin on January 1, 2025, with winter-bound school practical exams concluding by December 5, 2024. The CBSE has strategically scheduled the board exams to conclude before the entrance exam season, allowing students to better manage their time.

Students can access the detailed date sheets by visiting the official CBSE website and downloading the relevant PDF. The minimum attendance requirement for exam eligibility remains at 75%. Individual admit cards, specifying specific exam dates and centers, will be released at a later date. The exams will be conducted across 8,000 schools in India and 26 other countries.
