The Story in Brief
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to release the tentative date sheet for Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations 2027 in October, according to reports. The board has opened the online portal for schools to submit the List of Candidates (LOC) without late fee until 21 October and with late fee from 22 to 26 October. Only students whose details are submitted through the online system will be eligible to appear for the exams.
For the previous cycle, CBSE released its tentative date sheet on 24 September 2025. The Indian Express reports that the board has informed students and schools that there will be no change in the assessment scheme or passing criteria for the 2027 exams. CBSE has also released sample papers for 2027 on its academic portal, cbseacademic.nic.in. The Class 10 exams are expected in February-March 2027 with a second session in May, while Class 12 exams are expected between February and April 2027.
Update, 2 October 2026: The Indian Express reports that CBSE has informed students and schools that there will be no change in the assessment scheme or passing criteria for the 2027 board exams. The outlet also confirms that the tentative date sheet is expected in October 2026, and the Class 10 exams are likely to be held in February-March 2027 with a second session in May, while Class 12 exams are expected between February and April 2027.

Indian Opinion Analysis
The four outlets provide uniform straight reporting on CBSE’s expected exam schedule release, LOC submission deadlines, and the release of sample papers. ABP Live, India TV and The Indian Express all report the same key dates and the board’s statement that the assessment scheme remains unchanged. The Indian Express adds that the board issued a press note confirming no change in passing criteria, which other outlets omit. No source takes a critical or slanted stance. The coverage is consistent and factual, focusing on procedural updates. Students and schools now await the tentative date sheet, which last year was released on 24 September 2025, but this year is expected in October 2026.
