What the date sheet means for your plan

Class 12 Science students get long gaps: about 11 days between Physics and Chemistry, 10 days before Maths and over two weeks before Biology. Use each gap for one subject only.
CBSE says the Class 12 schedule takes the main entrance exams into account, so most papers finish before them; JEE Main session 2 and NEET still need steady practice alongside.
Class 10 students have Maths early (17 February) and Social Science last (8 March); finish Maths revision by early February.
Practicals and internal assessment are scheduled from 1 January 2027, so plan to finish them before the theory papers start.

CBSE schools in the Gulf follow the same date sheet. The times are given in IST, so check the local reporting time on your admit card.
