CBSE releases practical exam datesheet from 9 November
The Story in Brief
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the practical exam dates for Class 10 and Class 12 for the academic year 2026-27 for winter-bound schools. These schools remain closed in January due to extreme cold, so the board has scheduled practical exams earlier. For schools with a normal academic session, a separate notice will be issued, and their practical exams will start from 1 January 2027.
Practical exams, project work, and internal assessments in winter-bound schools will begin on 9 November 2026. Schools have been directed to prepare the final list of students before the exams, only those registered in the online list of candidates (LOC) will be allowed to participate. All marks must be uploaded online by 19 December 2026. Schools must also send the answer sheets of Class 12 practical exams to the respective CBSE regional office on time.
The board will provide an app link for uploading group photos of each batch during the practical exam for monitoring purposes. Schools must contact regional offices as needed for appointing external examiners and supervisors. Theory exam timetables for these schools will be issued separately.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The early practical exam schedule for winter-bound schools affects students and teachers in cold regions who would otherwise face disruption during January closures. The 19 December deadline for uploading marks puts pressure on schools to complete assessments within about six weeks. CBSE's requirement to upload group photos through a dedicated app link indicates tighter monitoring of the evaluation process. Schools that fail to meet the deadline or miss the LOC registration condition risk having students barred from the exams. The separate theory timetable still awaited leaves a key part of the examination calendar uncertain for these schools.
