Each subject will be allotted 100 marks that are divided into theory, practicals, projects, and internal assessments according to the specified breakdown.
The CBSE 2025 exam format also reflects key updates in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 with a focus on competency-based education. This method highlights the importance of applying knowledge practically rather than relying on memorization. The number of constructed response questions, such as short and long questions will see a reduction in both class 10 and 12 exams.
Practical exams for CBSE schools are scheduled to start on January 1 and for winter-bound schools, the practical exams and internal assessments will be held from November 5 and December 5, 2024. Around 44 lakh students will take the CBSE class 10 board exams in 2025 across the country.
