The CBSE informed today that Class 12 students who are unable to appear for their Hindi exam due to Holi celebrations in some districts can appear later. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a separate examination for such students. The Class 12 Hindi paper is scheduled for March 15, 2025.
In a notice, the board said: “It has been informed to CBSE that, though the festival of Holi would be celebrated on 14th March, 2025, in most parts of the country, in few places, either the celebrations would take place on 15th March, 2025 or celebrations would spill over to 15th March, 2025,” reads the official notice.
“Accordingly, in view of the constraints that some students may face, it has been decided that, while Examination would be held on 15.03.2025, those students who find it difficult to appear in the same may decide not to appear on that day, i.e., 15.03.2025. It has, further, been decided that such students would be given an opportunity to appear along with those students for whom a special examination is conducted as per the policy of the Board, whereby a special examination is conducted for students participating in National or International level sports events,” the notice added.
The Hindi Core (302)/Hindi Elective (002) exams for Class 12 will be held on March 15, 2025. The class 12 exams will run until April 2, and the class 10 exams until March 18.
