The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to release the date sheet for the 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 board exams soon on its official website, cbse.gov.in. More than 45 lakh students in India and abroad are anticipated to take the exams in the 2026-2027 academic session. The board has not yet confirmed the release date for the schedule, which is expected to be held in February, March, or April 2027.

Schools have until 21 October to submit the List of Candidates (LOC) for qualified students via the CBSE portal without a late fee. On 8 October, the board made the registration portal available for private students. The tentative exam date sheet was released on 24 September last year, but the board has not followed the same pattern this year. Students can download the PDF from the CBSE website once released, which will include exam dates, subject codes, shift timings, and gap days for revision.
The announcement of the exam schedule itself is not the only crucial information, the October 21 deadline for schools to submit the List of Candidates without a late fee is the immediate operational step. More than 45 lakh students are waiting for a precise timetable to plan their revision, but the board has left the exam window open across three months. Until the date sheet is published, students and schools are working on an estimated timeline. The next concrete event is the closure of the LOC window, after which the board must finalise its logistics and publish the schedule.
