CBSE is likely to release the 2027 date sheet with adequate gaps between major subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Accountancy, and Biology so that students can plan their revision well. The Class 10 and Class 12 theory examinations will be held in a single morning shift from 10:30 AM. Candidates will get 15 minutes to read the question paper before they start writing. Students are also required to have a mandatory 75% attendance to be eligible to sit for the CBSE board examinations.
