Notably, CBSE has recently released the latest sample papers with marking scheme, leading to speculations that the board is planning to hold the exam on time. These sample papers have been prepared as per the reduced CBSE syllabus. These sample papers will help the students appearing for the board examinations to know the format of questions that will be followed by the CBSE.

Several CBSE affiliated schools are also making efforts to complete the syllabus on time so that the students do not face trouble if CBSE decides to hold board exams earlier than expected.
