Important Instructions & Advice for Students

 

• Reading Time: Students will get 5–10 minutes before each exam shift to read the question paper.
• Arrive Early: Since there is a reading window, students should arrive at the exam centre at least 20–30 minutes before the scheduled time.
• Practical Exams: HS practicals are scheduled from 27 Jan – 7 Feb 2026. Make sure to confirm your school’s exact practical exam date once the final schedule is shared.
• Save & Print: After downloading the PDF time table, it's recommended to take a print for easy day-to-day reference and also keep a digital copy on your phone.
• Prepare Strategically: With a clear exam calendar in hand, students should draft a revision plan — balancing theory subjects, practicals, and electives.

 

What This Means for Students & Schools

The early release of the date sheet (in November) gives ample time for preparation, allowing students to plan their study routines seriously. Schools can align their internal mock exams, revision sessions, and practical classes more effectively now.

The two-shift schedule helps in managing crowd and giving adequate time per day for exams, and the extra reading time shows consideration for students to understand their question papers properly.
