CBSE releases Class 12 special exam datesheet for candidates in West Asian countries

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the datesheet for Class 12 special examinations for candidates appearing from West Asian countries, with examinations scheduled to begin on October 23.

According to the board's notice dated October 8, special examinations are being conducted for candidates whose subjects could not be held during the March-April examination period because of the prevailing situation in the region.

The datesheet applies to candidates who submitted their List of Candidates (LOC)



for the special examinations following the board's September 15 circular. CBSE has fixed one examination centre in each country based on the LOC submitted by candidates.

Candidates can download their admit cards from October 12 onwards through the same login they used to apply for the examinations.

The examinations will be held over five days, from October 23 to October 28, with a break on October 25. Most papers will take place from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm, while some vocational subjects have shorter examination durations.
