Indian education boards release or delay exam schedules

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has yet to release the 2027 date sheet and timetable for Class 10 and Class 12 board exams. This delay has caused concern among students and educators, as the absence of a schedule impacts preparation for entrance exams and other boards like ICSE and ISC, which often wait for CBSE dates to avoid scheduling conflicts.

In contrast, the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has announced the schedule for its mandatory sent-up examinations. The Class 10 exams are set for November 23 to 27, 2026, while Class 12 intermediate exams will run from November 19 to 28, 2026. Attendance for these pre-board tests is compulsory for students to receive admit cards for the 2027 board examinations, though ex-students and those in compartmental or improvement categories are exempt.
