It should be mentioned that CBSE practical exams for winter-bound schools will take place between November 5 and December 5, 2024.

In a previous circular, the board said though the exam bylaws mention practical exams will take place January 1 onwards, winter-bound schools are expected to remain closed in that month.

The date sheets for theory exams are awaited. As per past trends, CBSE timetables for theory papers are likely to be released in December.

In 2025, around 44 lakh candidates will appear for the Class 10 and 12 board exams at 8,000 schools across the country and abroad.

CBSE recently said it is mandatory for students to maintain at least 75 per cent of attendance to become eligible for board exams.

“The Board offers a 25% relaxation only in cases of exigencies such as medical emergencies, participation in national or international sports events, and other serious reasons, provided the necessary documentation is submitted,” CBSE said.
