CBSE Class 10 and 12 theory exams to commence from Feb 15, practical papers underway
New Delhi/IBNS: The CBSE Class 10 and 12 practical exams for 2025 commenced on January 1 and the theory exams are scheduled to start on February 15.
The Class 10 exams are scheduled from February 15 to March 18 while the Class 12 exams will be held from February 15 to April 4, 2025.
The complete schedule is available on the official CBSE website.
Several significant changes have been introduced this year including the reduction in the number of short and long-answer questions to encourage deeper subject understanding.
This year onwards, competency-based questions, assessing students' ability to apply theoretical knowledge in real-life situations, will now make up a substantial portion of the exams, especially for Class 12.
To reduce exam pressure, CBSE has increased the weightage of internal assessments, which will now contribute 40% to the final marks, with the remaining 60% based on the board exams. These assessments will include projects, tests, and assignments.
A minimum attendance of 75% is required to appear for the exams.
However, there is a 25% relaxation for specific circumstances, such as medical emergencies or sports participation, with valid documentation.
