CBSE Class 12 Board Exam Date Sheet 2026 Released: Complete Guide
When Are Your Exams Happening?
Finally, the CBSE date sheet you’ve all been waiting for is out. Would there be any changes to the gap-day issue we all had? In Physics or any subject you all of were very worried about.
Will there be any changes to any of these things? So the date sheet is out, and, as I said, you need to be serious from November onwards. In the last 30 days of November and December, you will need to make changes.
Exam Schedule Overview
The examination starts on 17th February, and there’s nothing wrong with that. They announced the date sheet 110 days in advance, so now it’s up to you how well you prepare.
One more thing they said is that there is a sufficient gap between the two subjects, so the kid can really prepare well. The examination time will remain 10:30 for all papers.
The date sheet has been prepared based on 4000 subject combinations, ensuring that no two subjects fall on the same date.
| Exam Date | Subject | Gap Details |
| 17th February | Biotech | First paper |
| 18th February | Physical Education | 1 day gap after Biotech |
| 20th February | Physics | 1 day gap after PE – tough for students with both subjects |
| 28th February | Chemistry | 8-day gap – lucky date traditionally |
| 9th March | Mathematics | Good gap given, Holi break consideration |
| 12th March | English | 3-4 days gap from Maths |
| 16th March | Hindi | Languages back-to-back for dual language students |
| 25th March | Informatics/Computer Science | Mid-gap before Biology |

Key Observations About The Date Sheet
Physics and Physical Education Challenge: For students taking both Physical Education and Physics, there’s only one day gap between 18th February and 20th February. This is intentional as per last year’s pattern, so students will have to dedicate the whole of February to these subjects and not take them lightly.
Chemistry’s Lucky Streak: A Chemistry paper on 28th February with an 8-day gap means students can do excellent revision. Trust the content here—if you haven’t touched Chemistry till now, you can easily reach 65 out of 70 with proper dedication.
Strategic Planning by CBSE: They’ve considered the timing of the entrance exam. Your entrances, like CUET, happen after boards. JEE can be done, and after sufficient time, you get results for JEE, CUET, and NEET.
