CBSE Board Exam Date Sheet 2027: Holi Clash Raises Concerns for Class 12 Students
According to the CBSE date sheet, both Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations will begin on February 16, 2027.
Class 10 board examinations will conclude on March 9, 2027, while Class 12 examinations will continue until April 9, 2027.
A major concern has emerged for Class 12 students as five subject examinations are scheduled on March 22, 2027, coinciding with Holi.
The five subjects scheduled on Holi are Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India, Bhoti, Kokborok, Banking and Electronics Technology.
All five Class 12 examinations scheduled for March 22 will take place from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM, according to the announced timetable.
Students and parents are concerned about the festival clash, but CBSE has not announced any changes or special arrangements so far.
Students should continue preparing according to the released date sheet and regularly check the official CBSE website for examination updates.
In 2025, CBSE had allowed an alternative exam date for students affected by a Class 12 Hindi examination scheduled on Holi.
Will CBSE provide similar relief in 2027? No official confirmation has been issued yet. Students should stay alert for further announcements at cbse.gov.in.
