The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued guidelines for Class 10 and 12 practical exams, projects, and internal assessments for the 2025-26 academic session. Schools must ensure sufficient answer books, functional labs, and coordinate with CBSE-appointed external examiners. Practical exams are scheduled from January 1 to February 14, 2026, with marks to be uploaded the same day. Special arrangements are required for Children With Special Needs (CWSN), and schools are cautioned to ensure accurate mark entry as corrections post-result will not be entertained.
