The CBSE will release the final admit cards for each students in due course of time. Exam dates for specific subjects relevant to the candidate, will be mentioned in their respective admit cards.
CBSE Board Exam Time table 2025 announcement details
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in 2025, while releasing the Board Exam Time Table for Class 10 and 12, emphasised several key considerations in the preparation of the schedule. These measures aim to facilitate a smoother experience for students and address logistical concerns:
Early Release of the Date Sheet: For the first time, the CBSE has released the date sheet nearly 86 days before the examinations. This is a significant improvement compared to the previous year, with the timetable being made available 23 days earlier than in 2024. This advance notice allows students ample time to prepare and plan their study schedules effectively.
Adequate Gap Between Subjects: The CBSE has ensured that there is a sufficient gap between examinations of subjects that are generally offered by the same student.
Coordination with Entrance Exams: The exam dates for Class 12 students have been set keeping in mind the dates for various entrance examinations.
Teacher Availability for Evaluation: To prevent a scenario where teachers of all subjects are absent from school simultaneously for a long period, the schedule was designed to allow a smoother evaluation process, ensuring that teaching staff remains available for grading and other necessary tasks.
Avoidance of Subject Conflicts: The CBSE has accounted for over 40,000 subject combinations, ensuring that no student will have two exams scheduled on the same day.
Exam Timings: The examinations for both Class 10 and Class 12 students will begin at 10:30 AM IST, providing a standardised start time across all exams, which can help students with consistent preparation routines.
