First Shift or Second Shift?
The date sheet lists two shifts, and it does not say which schools fall in which one. Please ask your class teacher.
| Morning | Afternoon | |
|---|---|---|
| Paper given out | 8:00 AM | 12:45 PM |
| Exam | 8:15 AM to 11:15 AM | 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM |
An 8:00 AM paper means an early start in a Delhi winter. So try a few morning study sessions now, and your body will be ready for it.
What Is the 15-Minute Reading Time?
You get 15 minutes with the paper before the exam time begins, for pen-and-paper tests. It is a good chance to see the whole paper and decide your order of answers.
A simple way to use it: read all the sections, tick the questions you know well, and note down any long ones that need more time. The time is for reading, so wait for your invigilator’s go-ahead before you begin to write.
Shorter Papers
Yoga, PAT and AI are two-hour papers. All other listed exam timings run for three hours. Do check with your teacher what kind of questions to expect here.
After the Exams
There is a parent-teacher meeting on Monday, 14 December 2026. Your papers may well be discussed there, so please tell your parents the date early. The sheet does not say how marks will be shared, so your school will guide you on that.
How to Save the Date Sheet
