CBSE To Conduct Special Exams For Students Participating In Sports Events, Check the official notice here

CBSE Board Exam 2025: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced to conduct a special examination for students participating in national or international sports events, aimed at encouraging youth involvement in sports and other educational competitions.

This special exam opportunity is for students whose CBSE board exams coincide with the dates of recognized national or international sports events, including travel dates for such events, as recognized by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

This move is part of India’s broader initiative to promote youth participation in sports. The special exam provision ensures that students who excel in both sports and academics are not disadvantaged by conflicting exam schedules. To avail of this opportunity, students must submit a request through their schools. The regional CBSE office will notify the concerned schools of the approval by January 15, 2025.

Since March 2020, CBSE has also been offering a similar special examination for students participating in International Olympiads, whose exam dates overlap with the Olympiad dates, including the travel dates. These Olympiads must be recognized by the relevant authorities in India, such as the Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education (HBCSE).
