The authority has said that the following criteria has been taken into consideration while finalising the date of the exams:

1. A sufficient gap has been given between two subjects generally offered by a student in both classes.

2. The date of conduct of entrance examinations meant for the students of Class XII have been taken into consideration and efforts have been made to complete the examinations much before the entrance examinations. This will help the students in better time management for both the Board and entrance examinations.

3. During evaluation, teachers of all subjects will not stay away from their school simultaneously and for a longer period.

4. The date sheet has been prepared by avoiding more than 40,000 subject combinations to ensure that no two subjects' examinations offered by a student fall on the same date.

5. The time of the start of the examinations will be at 10.30am IST (9am UAE time).
