These protocols are designed to ensure a standardized, transparent, and fair evaluation process across all affiliated schools in India and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practical exams, which carry significant weightage in the final board results, are scheduled to take place within a strictly defined window. For students of the 2025\u201326 session, these assessments are the first major milestone before the theory examinations commence on <strong>February 17, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-schedule-and-deadlines\"><strong>Key Schedule and Deadlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CBSE has established a non-extendable timeline for all practical assessments, project work, and internal evaluations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Regular Schools:<\/strong> January 1 to February 14, 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Winter-Bound Schools:<\/strong> Already concluded (November 6 \u2013 December 6, 2025).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Theory Exams Start Date:<\/strong> February 17, 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Schools have been explicitly warned that <strong>no extensions<\/strong> will be granted beyond February 14.

Schools are strictly prohibited from appointing local or internal staff for this role. Any exam conducted without an authorized external examiner will be declared null and void.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mandatory Geo-Tagged Photography:<\/strong> Every batch must have a group photograph taken inside the laboratory. This photo must include the students, the internal examiner, the external examiner, and the observer (if appointed). These photos must be <strong>geo-tagged and time-stamped<\/strong> before being uploaded to the CBSE link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Laboratory Readiness:<\/strong> External examiners are required to inspect the school\u2019s laboratories at least one day before the exam to ensure all necessary equipment, chemicals, and apparatus are available and functional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digital-transparency-same-day-mark-uploading\"><strong>Digital Transparency: Same-Day Mark Uploading<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a move to eliminate post-exam tampering, the CBSE has integrated a digital-first approach to mark submission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Immediate Upload:<\/strong> Schools must upload the marks of students on the <strong>same day<\/strong> the practical exam is conducted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Corrections Allowed:<\/strong> Once marks are finalized and submitted on the CBSE portal, they cannot be edited. Schools have been advised to double-check all entries against the maximum marks allotted for each subject.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rounding Off:<\/strong> Examiners are instructed not to award fractional marks. For instance, a score of $18.5$ must be rounded up to $19$.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-special-provisions-and-student-conduct\"><strong>Special Provisions and Student Conduct<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The board has also addressed specific scenarios to ensure inclusivity and discipline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Children with Special Needs (CWSN):<\/strong> Schools must provide necessary facilities and a conducive environment to ensure CWSN students can complete their practicals comfortably.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sports Participants:<\/strong> No exemptions or alternate dates will be provided for students participating in national or international sports events.
