The CBSE Class 12 Chemistry board examination today, i.e., February 28, 2026, is an important milestone for around 25 lakh students. The examination, which is considered crucial for students, began at 10:30 am and concluded at 1:30 pm today at 7,574 examination centers.
It was an eventful morning today with students arriving at examination centers well before the scheduled time of 10:00 am. After adhering to the entry rules, students were given 15 minutes of reading time from 10:15 am to 10:30 am. It is believed that during this period, high scorers use this time to strategize their approach, especially for Case-Study and Assertion-Reason types of questions, which now carry considerable weight under the competency-based assessment scheme of the board.
The recent controversy surrounding the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) board examinations has sparked debate among students, parents, educators and coaching institutes.
The issue started after the Class 10 Mathematics exam. Many students said that while some question papers were easy, others were much harder and felt similar to questions asked in competitive exams like the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and Advanced.
Before the discussion could subside, the Class 12 Physics paper triggered fresh criticism, with teachers arguing that the board failed to maintain uniform difficulty levels across different sets.
