Will there be a change to the CBSE date sheet? Exams for these five subjects fall on the day of Holi..
The CBSE has released the complete timetable for the board examinations. The exams are set to begin on February 16, 2027, and students have already started their preparations. The long-awaited date sheet has finally been released. While the Class 10 board examinations will conclude earlier in March, the Class 12 examinations will continue until April. Since some exams are scheduled for the day of Holi, a question arises: will the CBSE revise the date sheet in the coming weeks?
When will the board exams conclude?
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released the date sheet on November 6. It indicates that the Class 10 examinations for 2027 will be held from February 16 to March 9, 2027, while the Class 12 examinations will commence on February 16 and continue until April 9.
Exams for several subjects on the day of Holi
According to the date sheet, some Class 12 examinations are scheduled for March 22—the day of Holi. A total of five subjects for Class 12 are slated for this day. Consequently, many parents are wondering whether the board will change this date or if their children will be required to appear for exams on the day of the festival. As of now, the board has not made any announcement regarding this. Any updates on the matter will be provided on the official website, cbse.gov.in.
Subjects scheduled for this day
Holi falls on Monday, March 22, 2027. According to the CBSE timetable, the examinations for 'Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India', Bhoti, Kokborok, Banking, and Electronics Technology are scheduled for this date. All these papers will be conducted during the morning shift, from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
This change took place in 2025.
Much like in 2027, an examination was scheduled for the occasion of Holi in 2025 as well. The Class 12 Hindi examination was held on March 15, 2025. That year, the CBSE provided an option for students who were unable to take the exam on that day, allowing them to appear for it at a later time. In other words, students were given the flexibility to take the exam—which fell on the day of Holi—at a later date. A similar arrangement might be provided this time as well.
