The exams will be conducted between February and April 2025. Currently, schools are preparing for pre-board exams and practical exams, which are part of the assessment for several subjects. The practical examinations, which vary by subject, will also contribute to the final scores.

Admit Cards and Exam Guidelines
Admit cards for the CBSE Class 10 and 12 exams are expected to be issued in January 2025. Regular students can download their hall tickets from the official CBSE website (cbse.nic.in), while private candidates will need to download theirs from cbse.gov.in. It is mandatory for all students to carry their admit cards and a government-issued ID, such as an Aadhar card or voter card, to the exam center.
The exams will not be conducted without these essential documents, so students must ensure they have them ready in advance.
With the exam season approaching, students are advised to focus on understanding their syllabus, exam pattern, and the specific requirements for practical exams to ensure they are fully prepared for their 2025 board exams.
