CBSE Class 10, 12 practical exam 2023 schedule has been released for winter-bound schools. Read to know more.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released an official notification regarding the conduct of CBSE 10th, 12th practical examinations. CBSE Class 10, 12 practicals will be conducted from January 1, 2023. However, since winter-bound schools will be closed during this time, the practicals for them will be conducted from November 15 to December 14, 2022.

"As per provisions, the practical examinations, project or internal assessment for the session 2022-23 are scheduled from January 1, 2023, for all affiliated schools in India and abroad. However, the schools situated in the winter-bound areas are expected to remain closed during the month of January due to the winter season. Accordingly, the exams for both Classes 10 and 12 for winter-bound schools are to be conducted from November 15, 2022, to December 14, 2022," as per the official CBSE statement.

Moreover, CBSE has recently announced some specific considerations for students competing in national/ international sporting events and Olympiads. When a student’s board examinations conflict with dates of national or international sporting events, such as travel dates for competitions sanctioned by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) or their dates of the international Olympiads recognised by Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education (HBCSE), the Board would provide a special opportunity by holding special examinations at a later date.

In a notification dated October 21, the board stated that in such a case students have to submit a request to their schools for availing the special opportunity in the board’s main exam. They will also have to request SAI/BCCI/HBCSE for issuing certificate of participation. These activities needs to be done in such a manner that school recommendations along with certificate of participation reaches the regional office of CBSE of December 31, the official notice stated.

The regional offices will have to communicate about the approval by January 15, 2023. The rescheduled CBSE board exam will be held preferably within 15 days from the last held exam as per the CBSE Date Sheet 2023. The students, however, won’t have access to this special provision for internal assessments, practical exams, or compartment exams.
