The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the dates for practical examinations for winter-bound schools. Candidates can view the official notice on the CBSE website at cbse.gov.in.
The practical examinations, projects, and internal assessments for the academic session 2025-26 for both Class 10 and Class 12 in winter-bound schools are scheduled to take place from November 6 to December 6, 2025.
The Board has provided guidelines for winter-bound schools that will administer the practical examinations:
Schools must compile a final list of candidates and ensure that no student whose name has not been submitted in the online List of Candidates (LOC) to the Board is permitted to participate in these practical examinations, projects, or internal assessments.
The internal assessment for Class 10 will be conducted only once; therefore, all schools are required to enter the IA marks for all candidates within the specified time frame.
The marks for practical examinations will be uploaded starting from the date of the commencement of the practical examinations. The completion of marks uploading must occur by the final date of the practical examinations. During the uploading process, the School Principal, Internal Examiner, and External Examiner must verify that the correct marks are submitted, as no modifications to the marks will be permitted once they are uploaded.
Internal assessments for regular students will be carried out by the schools in accordance with the curriculum of the respective subjects. The internal assessment for all regular candidates will be conducted only once, and the same marks will apply to candidates who intend to take the second board examination. For further information, candidates can visit the official CBSE website.
