CBSE has opened online application forms for private candidates to appear in the Class 10 and Class 12 Board Examinations 2027. The exams for private candidates are scheduled to be conducted across February, March and April 2027, alongside CBSE Main Examinations 2027. Candidates apply through the CBSE private candidates portal and submit the required examination fee as per the board’s schedule.
The application window begins in early October 2026. Sources report that submissions are accepted without a late fee until October 23, 2026, followed by a late-fee period from October 24 to October 30, 2026. CBSE also specifies eligibility categories for those who are repeats, placed in compartment, have essential repeat outcomes, or apply for performance improvement under conditions set by the board. Multiple outlets note that forms must be filled online (offline submissions are not accepted) and that deadlines are not extended.
Articles also outline practical instructions such as fee payment options and the need to provide accurate personal and examination details. The application process requires digital upload of documents like a photograph and signature, and candidates typically receive a fresh roll number for 2027.
