CBSE Board Exams 2025: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely to release the examination schedule for classes 10 and 12 in December. However, the Board has not yet provided an official date or time for the release. The CBSE board exams for the 2025 session are set to commence on February 15 and are expected to conclude in April.
