Important Instructions for Students

- For subjects having practical + theory components, ensure you are aware of both parts.
- Use the time between practical and theory exams for revision and rest.
- Avoid last-minute confusion: note the shift (morning vs afternoon) clearly.
- Double-check your subject date: in multi-shift boards, some subjects are in the afternoon shift.
- Maintain a revision planner based on the time-table to avoid overlapping revisions.
Preparation Tips Based on Time Table
- Since the exams span from February to March, plan revision month-wise: January for finishing syllabus & practicals, February for first half of theory, March for final revisions.
- Allocate more time to your weaker subjects, especially early (before theory begins).
- Use the time between shifts to rest, catch up on revision, eat properly and sleep well — students often neglect this.
- Practice past year papers and mock tests under time-bound conditions (two shifts style) to simulate exam day.
- Keep a printout or snapshot of the time table at hand (mobile + printed copy) so you don’t miss any date or shift.
Why This Time Table Matters
- Having the time table early gives students more control over their study schedule, enabling effective planning.
- Knowing the exact dates and shifts helps reduce exam anxiety, improves time-management and boosts confidence.
- Helps teachers, schools and coaching centres in allocating resources, preparing students and designing revision slots.
- For parents: Enables you to support your child by ensuring revision environment, proper rest and nutrition aligned with key dates.
