Ahead of the anticipated 2024 board examinations for Class 10 and 12 students, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has unveiled the schedule for pre-board examinations in the UAE.
Pre-Board Exam Schedule:
Scheduled for January 2, 2024, CISCE board schools in the UAE will conduct pre-board examinations for students, offering a crucial preparatory phase ahead of the impending board assessments.

Dr. Sheela Menon, Principal of Ambassador School Dubai, highlighted that schools will host the pre-board exams between January 2 and January 20, 2024. This duration allows ample time for student preparation and provides valuable feedback before the board examinations.
Board Exam Dates:
For Class 10 students, board exams are slated to run from February 21 to March 28, while Class 12 exams are scheduled from February 12 to April 3, offering a comprehensive timeframe for the examinations.
Educators promptly notified parents of the exam dates, ensuring clarity despite the time zone difference with India. Dr. Menon emphasized the schools’ responsibility to relay subject-specific details and schedules to parents.
Preparation and Support:
School principals, including Nargish Khambaata from Gems Modern Academy, affirmed that students initiate exam preparation from the academic year’s outset.
The consistent support and guidance educators provide ensure students are well-equipped and unswayed by the exam timetable.
Winter Break and Exam Preparation:
As the winter break approaches, educators express confidence in students utilizing this period effectively for exam readiness.
Private school students in Dubai will enjoy a break from December 11, 2023, to January 2, 2024. During this period, teachers will be available remotely to address students’ queries, ensuring continuous guidance for board exam preparation.
