CBSE Class 12 Date Sheet 2027: Key Dates for NEET Aspirants
CBSE released the Class 12 date sheet on 6 November 2026, 101 days before the first paper. Board exams run from 16 February to 9 April 2027, all starting at 10:30 am.
Physics opens the season on 16 February 2027
Physics (042) is the very first Class 12 paper, on Tuesday 16 February 2027, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. For a NEET aspirant the board season starts with the subject most students find hardest.
Chemistry on 27 February, 11 days after Physics
Chemistry (043) is on Saturday 27 February 2027. The gap gives time to revise, but Physical Education on 18 February and Biotechnology on 19 February sit in between for students who take them.
English Core on 5 March, Mathematics on 9 March
English Core and Elective are on Friday 5 March 2027. Mathematics and Applied Mathematics follow on Tuesday 9 March, which matters only for PCMB students.
Biology on 25 March 2027, the last of the big three
Biology (044) is on Thursday 25 March 2027, nearly four weeks after Chemistry. It is the last core NEET subject on the sheet, so the board season for most medical aspirants ends here.
The whole sheet: 16 February to 9 April
Class 12 exams run across 121 subjects until 9 April 2027, with Hindi Core on 13 March and Computer Science on 31 March. CBSE says the schedule leaves room for entrance exams that follow.
What this means for NEET 2027 preparation
After Biology on 25 March, a NEET aspirant has about six weeks of clear revision before an early May exam. NTA has not announced the NEET 2027 date; NEET UG 2024 and 2025 were held on the first Sunday of May.
