The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is making sure everything runs smoothly for the upcoming Class 10 and 12 practical examinations in January 2026. To achieve this, they've announced some important guidelines that all affiliated schools need to follow. The exams will be conducted between January 1 and January 14, and schools have a vital role in preparing for these assessments.
One of the key aspects of the guidelines highlights the necessity for schools to ensure that all necessary resources and materials are in place well before the exams commence. It's essential that students are informed about the schedule and requirements without any delays, as this transparency is crucial for a stress-free exam period. Furthermore, only examiners appointed by the Board are authorized to conduct these practical exams, ensuring fairness and standardization in assessment.
For students requiring special arrangements, particularly those with special needs, schools must make adequate preparations to accommodate them. The Board is keen on providing an inclusive environment, so these students can perform to the best of their ability without any hindrance. This initiative is a clear indicator of CBSE’s commitment to embracing diversity and inclusivity in education.
Another critical guideline mandates that schools upload the practical exam marks on the same day they are awarded. This ensures transparency and accuracy in recording students' achievements. An interesting note from the guidelines is the absence of any exemptions from practical exams for students involved in sports activities. This means they, too, need to be present and prepared during the examination period.
