The Central Board of Secondary Education( CBSE) has officially blazoned the schedule for practical examinations for Classes X and XII in downtime- bound seminaries for the academic session 2025 – 26. The examinations for these seminaries are set to begin on November 6, 2025, and will conclude by December 6, 2025. This early schedule has been introduced to accommodate seminaries located in regions where downtime conditions make it delicate to conduct examinations in January. 

generally, CBSE practical examinations for both Indian and transnational related seminaries commence on January 1, 2026, but seminaries in areas passing severe downtime rainfall will conduct their assessments before to insure smooth functioning and timely submission of results. The Board has also issued Standard Operating Procedures( bribes) and detailed guidelines to help seminaries conduct these examinations efficiently, fairly, and in adherence to CBSE morals. 

According to the indirect, seminaries in downtime- bound regions must make comprehensive arrangements to complete all factors of the practical examinations within the given window. This includes practical examinations, design assessments, and internal assessments for both secondary( Class X) and elderly secondary( Class XII) situations. CBSE has emphasized that these assessments must be conducted rigorously as per the guidelines handed, without any detention or divagation from the sanctioned schedule. 

In its announcement, CBSE has directed all downtime- bound seminaries to finalize the list of campaigners well before the inception of examinations. It has made it clear that no pupil whose name has not been included in the online List of campaigners( LOC) will be permitted to appear for the practical, design, or internal assessments. The seminaries are, thus, responsible for vindicating the eligibility and registration details of each pupil and icing that the list submitted online is accurate and complete. 

The Board has also reminded seminaries that for Class X, the internal assessment will be conducted only formerly during the session. This means that all seminaries must insure that the internal assessment marks for all scholars are uploaded within the specified time frame. Any detention or failure to upload marks within the schedule could lead to executive issues and may affect the overall result compendium process. 

Another crucial instruction from CBSE concerns the appointment of external observers and spectators. seminaries have been advised to coordinate with their separate CBSE Regional services to grease these movables . The external observers play a pivotal part in maintaining the fairness and standardization of practical examinations, icing that evaluations are conducted according to CBSE morals. The presence of spectators also helps cover the conduct of examinations and uphold the integrity of the process. 

CBSE has further instructed seminaries to insure the timely completion of all practical examinations, design work, and internal assessments. Once completed, the practical examination answer books and affiliated accoutrements must be dispatched to the separate Regional services without detention. Timely submission is essential for the compendium of marks and for avoiding any logistical difficulties in processing results latterly. 

The Board’s communication underlines that the current announcement and schedule are applicable only to downtime- bound seminaries. seminaries following the regular academic timetable will continue with the being timeline, and a separate indirect outlining their schedule will be issued at a after date. This distinction ensures that seminaries across colorful regions can conduct examinations according to their original climate conditions while maintaining the uniformity of academic evaluation norms. 

Through this indirect, CBSE aims to give clarity and sufficient medication time for seminaries, preceptors, and scholars in downtime- affected areas. The early conduct of practical examinations not only prevents rainfall- related dislocations but also allows scholars acceptable time for theoretical test medication latterly in the academic cycle. The move reflects the Board’s sweats to maintain a balance between indigenous challenges and academic conditions, icing that scholars across all combined seminaries have equal openings to perform well in their assessments. 

As the schedule comes into effect, seminaries are anticipated to follow all CBSE- issued instructions strictly. The Board has reiterated its commitment to icing that the 2025 – 26 examination process runs easily and transparently, upholding the quality and credibility of its evaluation norms across different regions.
