“In reference to the news published in various online news portals and newspapers regarding the reduction of 15% of the curriculum and conducting open book exams for selected subjects under the CBSE Board Examination 2025 for classes 10 and 12, please note that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has not made any changes to its examination system or internal assessment system, nor has any official notification been issued in this regard. Therefore, the Board denies the aforementioned news,” said Vikas Kumar Agrawal, secretary at CBSE’s regional office in Bhopal, in an official statement.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will release the 2025 datesheet for Class 10 and Class 12 exams in the near future. Once available, candidates can access the datesheets on CBSE’s official websites, cbse.gov.in and cbse.nic.in. The exact date and time for the release of the Class 10 and 12 timetables have not yet been confirmed by the Board.
The CBSE board exams for both classes are set to begin on February 15, as previously announced during the 2024 results declaration. Students must ensure at least 75% attendance to be eligible for the exams.
