The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a special exam for students who cannot attend their board exam on March 15, 2025, due to Holi celebrations.
Special Exam for Holi Celebrations
Holi will be celebrated on March 14 in most parts of India. However, in some regions, the festival will continue on March 15. To ensure that students are not at a disadvantage, CBSE will allow those celebrating Holi to take their exam on a later date.
Who Can Take the Special Exam?
Students who cannot attend the Hindi board exam on March 15 due to Holi celebrations can skip it and take the special exam later. This policy is similar to the one provided for students who miss exams due to national or international sports events.
Exam Schedule
The Class 12 Hindi Core (302) and Hindi Elective (002) exams are set for March 15, 2025. While Class 12 board exams will continue until April 2, Class 10 exams will end by March 18.
Official Announcement
CBSE confirmed in an official notice, “While the examination will be held on 15.03.2025, students who find it difficult to appear may decide not to take the test. They will get a chance to take a special exam as per CBSE policy.”
CBSE will share more details soon on how students can apply for the special exam.
