As the CBSE Class 12 Science major examinations get underway on February 20, Physics takes center stage today, drawing lakhs of students nationwide and internationally. This kickstarts a series of high-stakes tests, with Chemistry and Biology lined up soon after. Class 10 board-goers are simultaneously testing in niche areas such as Data Science, Beauty and Wellness, and Marketing.
Exams for both classes started on February 17, adhering strictly to the 10:30 AM schedule at thousands of centers. CBSE reports confirm orderly proceedings everywhere, free from any untoward incidents.
One excited examinee, Class 12 student Mayank Sharma, arrived geared up for Physics. A Science stream hopeful eyeing engineering, he dismissed exam jitters: ‘I’m confident and looking forward to acing it for my future studies.’ His optimism mirrors the spirit among many peers.
With participation from 26 nations and a whopping 43.67 lakh students – 25 lakh-plus in Class 10 and 18.59 lakh in Class 12 – these boards highlight CBSE’s expansive reach. Notable changes this year include twice-yearly Class 10 exams, specialized subject evaluations, and digital assessment for Class 12, all aimed at fairness and precision.
Exam highlights so far: Class 10 Math on day one, Class 12 Biotech opener, and yesterday’s Class 12 papers in Engineering Graphics, Dance, and Horticulture. Physics today is a make-or-break for med and tech aspirants.
To aid concentration, CBSE advisors suggest yoga routines: Vrikshasana for balance, pranayama breathing, and seated forward folds for calm. Facilities are top-notch at centers, with appeals for calm from all stakeholders to ensure hiccup-free exams.
