Get Admit Card (Hall Ticket) on time — From December 15, 2025 onward. Without admit card, entry into exam hall may be denied.
Check exactly which date and time their exam is scheduled — Especially for elective/optional/vocational subjects or language papers.
Attend practical/Internal assessments/project-work dates (Dec 22–31 or Jan 10–15) — Missing them may impact eligibility.
Reach exam centre early — Students are advised to reach 30 minutes before start time and enter hall 15 minutes before scheduled exam.
Additional Information
The exam will be conducted across all streams: Science, Arts, Commerce & Vocational.
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.
