CBSE Board Exam 2025: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 and 12 board exams are scheduled to begin on February 15, 2025.
As students are busy making last-minute preparations for the exams, the board has released a list of items that are allowed or not allowed in the examination centre. Following these guidelines will help examinees attend the exam without any hassles.
List of items not allowed in exam centre
- Textual material, printed or written bits of paper and calculator.
- Communication devices such as mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, earphones, microphones, pagers, health bands, smart watches, cameras, and others are not allowed inside the exam hall.
- Other barred items are wallets, goggles, handbags, pouches, eatables and other items which could be used for unfair means.
Dress Code: It is mandatory for students appearing in the board exams to wear their respective school uniforms.
Arrival Time: Students must arrive at the examination centre at least 30-45 minutes before the reporting time as the exam will commence at 10:30 am. This will give them sufficient time to check the seating arrangement displayed on the notice board and move to their allotted seats.
Question Paper Reading Time: Students must effectively use the 15-minute reading time to think about answers, understand the question paper pattern, marking scheme, and implement effective time allocation.
The CBSE notice issued on January 20 reads, “Students will be subjected to extensive and compulsory physical frisking before entering the examination centre.”
