CBSE has released the date sheet for Class 10 and Class 12 board exams 2027, with exams starting on 16 February 2027, prabhatkhabar.com reports. Class 10 exams will run until 9 March, while Class 12 exams will continue until 9 April 2027. All exams will begin at 10:30 am, with subject durations of two to three hours. The schedule includes 83 subjects for Class 10, starting with Painting on 16 February. Separately, bhaskar.com and prabhatkhabar.com both confirm that practical exams for winter-bound schools begin on 9 November 2026, with marks to be uploaded by 19 December 2026. Schools must prepare final student lists from the online list of candidates (LOC). The board will provide an app link for uploading batch photos during practicals for monitoring. Theory exam timetables for winter-bound schools will be issued separately.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both sources offer neutral-report coverage, with bhaskar.com focusing on practical exam dates for winter-bound schools and prabhatkhabar.com on the theory exam datesheet for all schools. Neither outlet adds commentary or opinion. The practical exam schedule for winter-bound schools (starting 9 November) and the theory exam timeline (starting 16 February 2027) are distinct events reported without overlap or conflict. The balanced reading confirms CBSE has issued two separate notices, with theory dates for all students and early practical dates only for cold-weather regions. Students should check subject-wise schedules on the CBSE website.
