Winter bound schools in India are schools that are located in regions that experience harsh winter weather conditions. These schools are closed during the month of January due to the winter season. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released a schedule for practical exams for winter bound schools for the session 2023-24. The practical exams for Class 10 and 12 for winter bound schools will be conducted from November 14 to December 14, 2023. The CBSE has also instructed schools to conduct these practical exams, projects, and internal assessments in two or three sessions per day, depending on the availability of lab infrastructure in the school if there are more than 30 students.
