CBSE Set to Release Class 10 and 12 Exam Schedule for 2027

The Central Board of Secondary Education is likely to release the Class 10 and 12 date sheet for the 2027 board examinations this week. While the board has not issued any formal confirmation on the exact date, past trends suggest the schedule will be out soon. Last academic year, tentative dates were released on September 24 and final dates on October 30. Once announced, students can download the schedule from the official website at cbse.gov.in. The board has already released subject-wise sample question papers and their marking schemes on its academic portal, cbseacademic.nic.in, to help students understand the exam structure.

Registration and Fees

Schools have already started submitting the list of candidates online, with the regular submission window running until October 21, 2026. Indian students appearing for five subjects must pay a registration and examination fee of Rs 1,600. Those taking additional subjects must pay Rs 320 for each extra subject.

Exam Details

The date sheet will not include practical examination schedules, which will be shared separately by schools. Passing criteria remain unchanged, requiring students to score at least 33 percent marks in each subject and in aggregate to qualify.

Context

Board exam schedules are typically released months in advance to give students adequate time to plan their studies and revision gaps. The Central Board of Secondary Education manages millions of students across affiliated schools nationwide, making timely online submissions and digital access to sample papers crucial for a smooth examination cycle.
