For promoting sports and other educational competitions among youth, CBSE has been providing the following facilities to candidates appearing for class X/XII CBSE examination along with participating in any such activities .

1. Since March 2018, CBSE has been providing a special opportunity to such students by conducting special examination(s) at a later date(s) so that, the participants studying and appearing for grade X/XII examination do not suffer any kind of loss in their academic session. Those students who are participating in National/International Sports Events and whose CBSE Board’s examinations clash with the dates of National/International Sports events including dates of the journey for the events recognized by Sports Authority of India (SAi) and Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) are given this special opportunity.

2. Since March 2020, CBSE has also been providing a special opportunity to students by conducting special examination(s) at a later date(s) for the students who participate in International Olympiads and whose CBSE Board examinations dates clash with their dates of International Olympiad including dates of the journey for the Olympiad recognized by Appropriate Authority in India viz. Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education (HBCSE).

In doing so, CBSE ensures that students pursuing excellence in sports and academics have the opportunity to thrive without compromising on either aspect of their development.
