However, a detailed timetable specifying subject-wise exam dates has not yet been released. The Board will issue the examination schedule separately at a later date. Therefore, students should distinguish between the dates for submitting exam forms and fees and the actual dates of the examinations.
75% Attendance Mandatory
The Board has reiterated the requirement of at least 75% attendance to appear for the examination. This is mandatory for eligibility to take both written and practical examinations.
Consequently, students must not only fill out exam forms and pay fees on time but also meet the attendance requirement. Schools are also required to submit the exam forms of eligible students within the stipulated timeframe.
