CBSE Practical Exams 2026–27: Winter-Bound Schools’ Dates and PDF

CBSE’s 5 November 2026 circular sets the Class 10 and 12 practical/project/internal-assessment window for winter-bound schools from 9 November to 19 December 2026.

Which students does this affect?

• This early window is for schools following a winter-bound session. It is not the practical timetable for every CBSE school.
• Your school will communicate the actual subject-wise dates within the authorised window.
• The circular notes the regular assessment schedule from 1 January 2027, with separate instructions for regular-session schools.
• For Class 10, internal assessment is conducted once under the stated arrangement. Confirm your school’s instructions carefully.

What to prepare now

• Ask your teacher for your subject dates and practical/project requirements.
• Check that your practical file and project records are complete and reflect work you understand.
• Practise explaining the aim, method, observations and conclusion of each experiment.
• Prepare viva answers using your own reasoning and revise weak concepts before the assessment.

Official PDF and notes

• Download the CBSE circular, SOPs and guidelines. This is the official notice, rather than a school-specific student timetable.
• Revise with Class 10 notes and Class 12 notes.

Students in Classes 9 and 11 should follow their own school’s assessment calendar.
