The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the date sheet for 10th and 12th board exam 2027 on November 6. Along with this, the students have got information about the dates for exam preparation. However, after the release of the date sheet, the anxiety of some students of class 12 has increased. The board has organized five subject exams on Holi day 22 March 2027.
In such circumstances, a question in the minds of students and parents is whether the board will change the date of the exams to be held on Holi or the exams will be held as per the schedule announced earlier.
The board exam will start from 16th February
As per the date sheet released by CBSE, both the 10th and 12th board exams will start from 16 February 2027. However, both the categories of exams will end on different dates.
The 10th class exams will be conducted from 16 February to 9 March 2027. At the same time the 12th class students have to go through a long examination period. Their exams will be held from 16 February to 9 April 2027. Thus the examination of class 10 students will end in March, while students of class 12 will have to appear till April.
Examination of these five subjects on Holi day
Class 12th five subject exams will be held on March 22, 2027 on Holi day. It includes Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India, Bhoti, Kokborok, Banking and Electronics Technology. All subject exams will be conducted from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm.
Will the board change the exam date?
There is confusion among students and parents due to the exams being held on Holi day. However, CBSE has not yet announced any change of date or any special arrangement regarding March 22 exams. In such a situation, currently students should prepare according to the published datesheet. In case of any change in the examination schedule, the board will publish the information on its official website cbse.gov.in.
The board had given special facility in 2025
Even in 2025, the 12th Hindi exam was scheduled on March 15 around Holi. At that time, the board provided the facility to take the exam separately for the students who were facing difficulty in giving the exam due to Holi. In such a situation, it is expected that CBSE may take a decision considering the problems of the students even in 2027. However, no such feature has been officially confirmed this time. Therefore, students should wait for further notification from the board.
