CBSE Board Practical Exams 2025 Class 10th, 12th For Compartment Students Starts for July, 10; Details Here

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the dates for the practical exams for students in the compartment category on the official website at cbse.gov.in. These exams will be held from July 10 to July 15, 2025.  As per the official notice, this session is specifically for students who have been placed in the Repeat in Practical (RP) or Repeat in Both (RB) categories in any subject.

CBSE has clearly stated that Class 12 students who fall under the RP category will need to appear only for the practical exam. Their previous theory marks will remain unchanged, meaning they don’t need to retake the theory paper.

For Class 10 students who are in the RB (Repeat in Both) category, CBSE requires them to appear for both the theory and the practical exams as part of the supplementary exam process. This ensures that students get a fair chance to improve their scores in both components.

CBSE has also clarified that internal assessment for Class 10 students will not be conducted again during the supplementary exams. Since internal assessment is a year-long activity, students who missed it earlier will be awarded pro-rata marks based on their performance in the theory exam of the supplementary session.

For Class 12 practical exams, external examiners will be appointed by CBSE's Regional Offices to maintain fairness and transparency. Meanwhile, internal examiners will be selected by the respective schools or exam centres.
