Their admit card
Any other documents specifically requested by their school or examination centre
After contacting the school or centre, students must note the date and time allotted for their practical examination. They are required to report to the designated venue on time on the day of the examination.
Students should also check with their school in advance regarding the exact reporting time and any subject-specific instructions.
Practical marks to be uploaded on the same day
CBSE has directed schools and examination centres conducting the supplementary practical exams to upload the marks awarded to students on the portal on the same day as the examination.
The board has also stated that once the practical marks are uploaded, they will be treated as final. Requests seeking changes to the marks after uploading will not be accepted.
