CBSE Students had been eagerly waiting for date sheet of final exams of Classes 10th and 12th. At last, CBSE ended their wait on 20.11.2024 and released tentative date sheet for 2024-25 session. The exams for these classes will commence on February 15,2025 and end on April 04, 2025.
CBSE DIRECTIVES FOR EXAM
CBSE has given some directives regarding exams as below:
1. Exams will start on 10:30 in the morning.
2. Sufficient Gap has been given in between two subjects which are generally opted by the students.
3. CBSE has tried its best to complete the board examination of 12th class well before the various entrance exams for higher studies. This is done in order to give sufficient time to students to prepare for both the board exams and the entrance exams.
4. The date sheets have been prepared by avoiding nearly 40,000 subject combinations to ensure that exams for no two subjects fall upon the same date.
5. Teachers, who have been given duty of copy checking after final exams, will not have to stay away from school for a long period.
AN EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT
This year, CBSE has announced final exam date sheet 86 days prior to the actual exam. It is also 23 days in advance as compared to announcement of date sheet for the previous session of 2023-24. As per CBSE, this was possible due to timely submission of List of Candidates (LOC) by the respective schools. Release of date sheet in advance for such a longer period will definitely help students and other concerned in following ways:
Students: They will have sufficient time to prepare for the exam and improve their performance. They can also overcome anxiety by giving more mock tests and periodic tests.
Parents: Families of students can plan for summer vacations well in advance keeping in mind the schedule of exams of their children.
Teachers: Many teachers from a single school are generally engaged in evolution duty. Such duties for a longer period hamper the study of non-board classes. This time, CBSE has assured that most of the teachers will not stay away from school for longer period due to evolution duties.
Schools: School fixed as examination centers will have sufficient time for planning examination related activities.

CLASS 12- DATE SHEET FOR SCIENCE STREAM
Science Stream is very popular with CBSE students. Generally, students with high percentage in class 10 take Science in 11th Class. Science Students need to work very hard to understand the concepts in detailed form. They need to put their best effort to get good marks in science subjects. Among science subjects, Physics is considered most difficult subject. There is sub-categorisation in Science Stream into Medical and Non- Medical. Those who opt for Medical, they need to take Biology and can leave Mathematics. On the other hand, students opting for Non-Medical can take Mathematics instead of Biology.

HINDI | 15.03.2025 |
BIOLOGY | 25.03.2025 |
COMPUTER SCIENCE | 29.03.2025 |
It is very good that papers of main science subjects are held earlier than language subjects. Better thing is that Physics, the most difficult paper, will be conducted first so that students can focus more on this subject before the commencement of exam. Biology paper will be held last on 25.03.2025 and has 9 days gap after Hindi paper. Overall, date sheet for science is balanced having enough gaps between two subjects.

HINDI | 15.03.2025 |
ECONOMICS | 19.03.2025 |

Date sheet for commerce students is also balanced. Main subjects like Business studies, Mathematics, Economics and Accountancy have sufficient gaps for preparation. The most important subject, Accountancy has 6 days gap from the Economics Paper. Commerce Students need to keenly observe the economic activities going on around them.
