CBSE Message 

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, or celebrations would spill over to 15th March, 2025.

“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,” said CBSE.

CBSE has asked schools to bring this to the notice of all the students of Class 12 appearing for the said examination.
