The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued important guidelines for Class 10 and 12 students preparing for the 2027 board examinations. The board has announced the schedule for practical examinations, project assessment and internal assessment in schools in winter-bound areas under the 2026-27 academic session. These examinations will be held from November 9 to December 19, 2026.
This schedule will apply only to schools located in winter-bound areas where schools remain closed in January due to extreme cold. In other CBSE-affiliated schools, practical examinations and internal assessments will be held from January 1, 2027, as per the scheduled programme. The board will issue separate guidelines for these schools.
Important rules for students: CBSE has directed schools to prepare the final list of eligible students before the examinations. Only those students whose names are recorded in the List of Candidates (LOC) submitted online to the board will be allowed to appear for practical and internal assessments.
The internal assessment for Class 10 will be conducted only once. Schools will have to upload the marks of all students within the prescribed time limit. For practical examinations, wherever required, schools will have to contact the regional office regarding the appointment of external examiners and observers.
Separate sessions for more than 30 students: According to the board’s instructions, if the number of students for a practical examination or project assessment in a school exceeds 30, the examination may be conducted in two or three sessions depending on the available laboratory facilities. Class 12 practical answer books will also have to be sent to the respective regional office.
Students have been advised to obtain subject-wise examination dates and timings from their schools.
