The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially announced the date sheet for Class 10 and 12 board exams 2025. With the students coming closer to those testing moments, an overall understanding of the exam schedule, guidelines, and other significant updates is provided here.


Exam Schedule and Subjects


The CBSE board examination for Classes 10 and 12 will commence from February 15, 2025. This will mark the beginning of one of India’s most awaited academic events.
• Class 10: English will make its entrance the first day.
• Class 12: Entrepreneurship will be the first paper to set the ball rolling for the students who are going to specialize in business and management.

CBSE Merit List Policy Favoring Student Welfare


The CBSE would not come out with a merit list, division-wise marks, or a list of toppers in line with its recent practices. To control the unhealthy competition associated with the board exams and reduced the stress levels, the board had initiated such practices during the pandemic. This decision is made in the best interest of providing a healthily academically flourishing environment. The board wants to emphasize learning beyond competition by focusing on individual performance rather than ranking.


Eligibility Parameters: Passing Percentage


Students appearing for the CBSE Board Exams 2025 have to score:


• Minimum 33% marks in each particular subject as well as in aggregate.
This two-fold criteria ensures there is no disparity in performance between the subjects.
Syllabus and Exam Pattern: No Cut Down
Despite reports suggesting otherwise, CBSE has stated that it would not reduce the syllabus for the 2025 board exams. Moreover, the board has also stated:
• There is no change in the pattern of the exam from the previous year.
• No open-book exam will be held.
It will offer a sense of certainty and help the students so that their preparation strategy does not get disoriented.


Practical Exams: Dates


CBSE has furnished the schedule for practical exams as follows:
• Class 10th: The start date of practical exams is January 1, 2025.
• Class 12th: Practical exams will commence on February 15, 2025.
All the marks, be it theory, practicals, projects, or even internal assessments (IA), had been clearly defined in earlier notifications. Thus, students and lecturers were clear on all this.


Key Take-Aways for Students


1. Equilibrium and Balance: Equally prepare for all subjects to qualify.
2. Format: Be aware of the exam pattern as declared.
3. Preparation for Practical: Allocate time as needed for practical exams; do not forget them at all.
4. Watch Official Declarations by CBSE: CBSE might come up with any changes or explanation in the declared updates.


Conclusion
The Board Exam 2025 of CBSE will be conducted according to the rules as usual. With the same syllabus and pattern, CBSE provides students with a steady foundation in preparation. As the date of exams is near, students need to work on proper time management, thorough revision, and tension-free study patterns.
Stay confident, stay prepared, and make the most of these months before this very important academic milestone!
