- Theory exams generally will start at 10:00 AM, but vocational papers may have different timing (for example some vocational papers may be 10:00 AM–12:00 PM).
- For students in Commerce/Vocational streams — project evaluation and viva-voce (if any) will be handled by their school teachers (in groups) — keep in touch with your school administration for details.
What This Means for Students
- With the timetable out, you now know exactly when each subject exam will happen — this helps you create a subject-wise revision schedule.
- Since practical exams are happening before the winter break (Dec–Jan), it is important to finish any practical/project work early, and make sure you have prepared thoroughly before December.
- Download and print your admit card as soon as available — don’t delay.
- Double-check your stream and subject codes — especially if you are in Vocational or have elective papers — to avoid confusion on exam day.
- Use the next 2–3 months to revise systematically, and maybe solve past papers using the date sheet to simulate exam conditions.
