Painting (049) · Tuesday, 16 February 2027 · 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM IST
All times are in Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+05:30)
CBSE Date Sheet 2027 Released – 6 November 2026
--days since the official CBSE date sheet was released.
Counted in whole calendar days (IST) from 6 November 2026. The CBSE notification gives the date only, so no release time is shown.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the Class 10 (Secondary School Examination) Main Examination date sheet for 2027. Class 10 students will find every subject, date, day and time below, with a live countdown and automatic exam status. The board exams begin on 16 February 2027 and the last paper is on 9 March 2027. The timetable lists 83 subject papers, and every paper starts at 10:30 AM IST.
This page is a live exam tracker: the countdown runs on India time (IST) and each paper is struck through and marked COMPLETED ✓ automatically once its official end time passes. No refresh needed.
Heads-up: the very first Class 10 paper is Painting (code 049) on 16 February 2027 – not Mathematics. Mathematics (Standard and Basic) is on 17 February 2027.
NEXT SCHEDULED CBSE EXAMINATION
What does “next scheduled” mean? It is the next paper in the complete CBSE timetable (all subjects together). It is not necessarily the next exam for every student – check your own subjects in the timetable below.
How the live status works
- UPCOMING exam is on a later date
- TODAY exam day, paper not started yet
- IN PROGRESS paper is running right now
- COMPLETED ✓ entry struck through after the official end time
Statuses compare your device’s clock with the official IST timings, and every section on this page uses the same timetable data, so one paper never shows two different statuses.
