According to the circular posted on the official CBSE website by the Exam Controller, Sanyam Bhardwaj, the board exams will commence on February 15, 2024, and will continue for a period of 55 days, concluding on April 10.
The notice emphasizes that all institutions conducting exams should carefully follow the CBSE board exam schedule to avoid any date conflicts. Additionally, the notice has been sent to various organizations, including the Union Public Service Commission, Joint Seat Allocation Authority, National Testing Agency, All India Council for Technical Education, Council of Architecture, Indian Nursing Council, Central Teacher Eligibility Test, Staff Selection Commission, and University Grants Commission.
