Why Has CBSE Issued This Circular?
CBSE has noted that many schools and students are still not fully aware of the exemptions and facilities available to CWSN students. At times, schools have not followed the correct procedure to seek facilities, which creates inconvenience during examinations. To address this, the Board has created a dedicated CWSN management system that clearly lists all available concessions.
How Can Schools Use the CWSN Portal?
- Schools must log in to the Pariksha Sangam portal with their credentials.
- In the CWSN module, the list of students marked as CWSN in LOC will be visible.
- Schools need to select the facilities students wish to avail such as extra time, scribe/reader, computer or laptop (without internet), or basic calculator.
- These selected facilities will automatically reflect in the student’s admit card.
- Examination centres can then make proper arrangements so that students face no difficulty.
What Is the Timeline for the CWSN Portal?
The portal will remain open from 9 September 2025 (Tuesday) to 22 September 2025 (Monday). CBSE has made it clear that no requests will be accepted after this period or in offline mode. Hence, schools must complete the process within the given schedule.
