Though the CBSE practical exams are scheduled to begin on January 1, for winter-bound schools, practical exams and internal assessments will be held between November 5 and December 5, 2024.

Subject-wise date sheets for theory papers are expected to be released in December.

Around 44 lakh candidates will take the CBSE Class 10 board exams in 2025 at 8,000 schools across the country and abroad. It is mandatory for students to maintain 75 per cent 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,” the board recently said.

Students preparing for board exams can download Class 10 and 12 sample papers from the CBSE academic portal – cbseacademic.nic.in. Going through the sample papers will help them understand the pattern and marking scheme for board examinations.
