CBSE Class 12 Date Sheet 2027: Official PDF and Subject Dates

The CBSE Class 12 date sheet 2027 is out. The board's notice dated 6 November 2026 schedules the Senior School Certificate examinations from 16 February to 9 April 2027. Physics is on 16 February, Chemistry on 27 February and Mathematics on 9 March. Every examination starts at 10:30 am IST, but the finishing time depends on the paper. This guide was checked against the official PDF on 10 November 2026.

Download the official CBSE Class 12 date sheet

Open the official CBSE 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 date sheet PDF. It contains both classes, so do not stop at the first subject table. The Class 12 section begins on PDF page 8 under "Senior School Certificate Examinations-2027" and continues through page 12.

You can also reach it from the CBSE official announcements page by selecting "Date Sheet for Class X and Class XII Board Examinations, 2027", dated 6 November. Save that PDF rather than an undated screenshot shared in a group. Check the board's announcements again if your school flags a revision.

Class 12 dates for major subjects

The list below selects commonly studied subjects from the official schedule. It is not the complete list of 121 subjects. Each entry here is scheduled for 10:30 am to 1:30 pm IST; other papers in the PDF can have a different duration. Match the subject code as well as the name.

The overall schedule ends on 9 April with Retail (801) and Web Application (803). Your own last paper may be much earlier. Find every subject you have registered for, including an additional subject, before deciding when your examinations finish.

Make a personal timetable from your subject codes

Write down only your papers, in date order, with the code and finishing time beside each one. English Core and English Elective are different courses even though they share a date. Mathematics and Applied Mathematics also have separate codes. If a code does not match your school record, ask the examination office to check it.

Keep the official PDF alongside your personal list until you have checked every entry. A friend's Science or Commerce timetable may omit a subject you take. Before booking travel, check your own final paper and any separate practical or school requirements.

Use the gaps without overlooking another paper

Physics on 16 February and Chemistry on 27 February are eleven calendar days apart, leaving ten full days between those two dates. That does not mean every student has ten free revision days: Physical Education or another opted subject may fall inside that period. Count gaps using your personal subject list, not a stream-wide headline.

Plan the next week around what still causes mistakes. For example, if a Chemistry practice paper exposes weak calculations, put those questions into the next revision block rather than repeatedly reading a chapter you already know. Keep some written practice for later subjects even while preparing for the first paper.

Our CBSE 2026-27 sample-paper guide links the official papers and marking schemes. Use the correct subject and course. A practice score helps you choose what to revise; it is not a prediction of your board result.

Paper timings, practicals and exam-day instructions

The date sheet says all examinations start at 10:30 am IST. Do not use that as an arrival-time instruction. Follow the reporting requirements on your admit card and any later board directions. The notice says important instructions will be issued separately and that communication devices are not allowed inside the examination centre.

This is the theory timetable. It does not give your school's individual practical appointments. Confirm those arrangements with the school rather than assuming a free day in the theory schedule is available. If you need subject support, the Class 12 tuition page explains the available tutoring route; a tutor cannot alter the board timetable.
