- Adequate Gaps: Strategic gap days have been purposefully provisioned between high-intensity major papers.
- Entrance Exam Alignment: Tentative schedules of major national entrance examinations have been accounted for to ensure board exams conclude comfortably ahead of them.
Important Examination Guidelines
- All examinations will strictly commence at 10:30 AM (IST).
- Students must thoroughly review and comply with all instructions printed on their Admit Cards.
- Strict Prohibitions: No communication devices (such as mobile phones, smartwatches, etc.) are allowed inside the examination center.
