CBSE to begin class 10 and 12 board exams from Feb 15

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct the Class 10 and 12 board exams (theory) starting Feb 15.

The board will upload the admit cards for the theory exams on the Pariksha Sangam website, cbse.gov.in.

CBSE will release the admit cards for each school separately, and students must collect them from their schools, as individual admit cards cannot be downloaded from the CBSE website.

To download the CBSE board exam admit card, visit cbse.gov.in and open the Pariksha Sangam portal.

Click "Continue" on the next page, select "Schools (Ganga)," then navigate to "Pre-Exam Activities" and click the link for "Admit Card, Centre Material Link for Main Exam, 2025."

Finally, enter the school login details and download the admit cards.

Exams for CBSE class 10 will begin on Feb 15 and end on March 18. Class 12 exams will also start on Feb 15 and continue through April 4.

Single-shift exams for both classes will begin at 10:30 am.

While preparing the CBSE board exam date sheet, a significant gap has been created between two courses commonly taken by students in both classes.

Approximately 44 lakh students from around 8,000 institutions in India and abroad are eligible to take the class 10 and 12 board exams in 2025.

CBSE practical exams and internal assessments in winter-bound schools took place from Nov 5 to Dec 5. In all other schools, exams began on Jan 1.
