The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is conducting Class 12 Hindi exam today, March 15, 2025. The exam will begin at 10.30 am and conclude around 1.30 pm across 7,842 centres in India and 26 locations abroad. Students who fail to attend the exam today due to Holi today, will get another chance to appear in the exam at a later date, CBSE noted.
CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said, "It has been informed to CBSE that, though the festival of Holi would be celebrated on March 14 in most parts of the country, in few places, either the celebrations would take place on March 15 or celebrations would spill over to March 15. It has been decided that such students would be given an opportunity to appear along with those students for whom a special examination is conducted as per the policy of the board for students participating in national or international sports events."
Around 42 lakh students from 8,000 schools in India and abroad are appearing for the Class 10 and 12 board exams this year.
