Overview
- As of Monday, October 5, 2026, the Central Board of Secondary Education has not published the official Class 10 and Class 12 Date Sheet for 2027 and students should wait for the PDF on cbse.gov.in or cbse.nic.in.
- Schools can submit the List of Candidates in a regular window until October 21 and in a late window until October 30 that carries a Rs 2,000 fee for each late candidate.
- CBSE has published Class 10 and Class 12 sample question papers on cbseacademic.nic.in, which students can use to plan revision while the official timetable is pending.
- The board exams are expected to be held in February–March 2027 in a single shift, students must score at least 33% in each subject to pass, and regular candidates typically receive admit cards from their schools.
- About 44 lakh candidates from roughly 8,000 schools in India and overseas are eligible to appear this year so delays in the date sheet could affect exam planning and logistics for many schools and students.
