2027 board exam dates and days left
Days left counted from 12 November 2026. CBSE dates are from the official CBSE date sheet dated 6 November 2026. State board dates are not listed: the six largest state boards (Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan) had no readable official 2027 date sheet when checked on 12 November 2026, so their dates are omitted rather than guessed.
| Board | Exams start | Class 10 last paper | Class 12 last paper | Days left to start |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CBSE | 16 February 2027 | 9 March 2027 | 9 April 2027 | 96 days |

Detailed guide
How to get useful results from Board Exam Countdown
When do the CBSE board exams start?
The CBSE board exams for Classes X and XII start on Tuesday 16 February 2027. All papers begin at 10:30 AM. About 26.5 lakh Class X students and 19.8 lakh Class XII students are registered. The countdown above ticks live from the current moment to 10:30 AM on 16 February 2027.
How many days are left?
Days left are the full days between now and the exam start. From 6 November 2026 that is 102 days — 14 weeks and 4 days. The tool shows days, hours, minutes and seconds, so the number is exact to the second. Use the weeks figure to plan revision blocks: one subject per week works well when more than 10 weeks remain.
Class XII — last paper 9 April 2027
Class XII papers run from 16 February to Friday 9 April 2027. If you are in Class XII, plan your revision backwards from your last paper, not just the first: the final weeks are for the subjects that come late in the date sheet. Switch the countdown above to the Class XII last paper to see that date too.
Class X — main board (Phase 1) ends 9 March 2027
The official CBSE date sheet released 6 November 2026 puts the Class X main board (Phase 1) last paper on Tuesday 9 March 2027, at 10:30 AM. That last day is mostly language papers; the main subjects finish a day earlier, with Social Science on Monday 8 March 2027. The Phase 2 (second board) schedule has not been announced yet — check cbse.gov.in when it comes.
Study-plan framing
With more than 100 days left, finish the syllabus and start revision. At 50 days, switch to sample papers and your weak topics. At 30 days, do full-length mock papers under exam timing — 10:30 AM start, three hours, no phone. In the last 7 days, revise formulas and short notes only, and check your admit card and exam centre. The last day is for light revision and an early night.
What to do in the last week
Confirm your admit card, exam centre and reporting time. Pack pens, pencils, geometry box and water the night before. Revise formulas, dates and short notes — do not start a new chapter. Sleep early: a 10:30 AM paper needs a fresh morning. Reach the centre at least 30 minutes before the paper.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is counting from today wrongly — the tool counts full days to 10:30 AM, not calendar dates. The second is trusting an unofficial date sheet forwarded on WhatsApp: only cbse.gov.in is official. The third is planning around the Class X end date before it is confirmed. And the fourth is leaving sample papers to the last week, when there is no time left to fix weak topics.
How many days left for the 2027 board exam, Class 12?
96 days are left until the CBSE Class 12 board exams start on Tuesday, 16 February 2027, and 148 days until the last paper on Friday, 9 April 2027. Counted from 12 November 2026. Source: CBSE date sheet, 6 November 2026 (https://www.cbse.gov.in/cbsenew/documents/Datesheet_ClassX%20_XII_2027_Main_06112026.pdf).
Use the live countdown above for the day-by-day count to the same 16 February 2027 start. If the board changes a date, the countdown and this table are updated together.
How many days left for the 2027 board exam, Class 10?
96 days are left until the CBSE Class 10 board exams start on Tuesday, 16 February 2027, and 117 days until the last paper on Tuesday, 9 March 2027. Counted from 12 November 2026. Source: CBSE date sheet, 6 November 2026 (https://www.cbse.gov.in/cbsenew/documents/Datesheet_ClassX%20_XII_2027_Main_06112026.pdf).
Class 10 and Class 12 start on the same day, but Class 10 finishes first: the last Class 10 paper is 9 March 2027, while Class 12 runs to 9 April 2027.
