Notice Writing- CBSE Format, Examples ,Tips for Full Marks.

If you are preparing for a CBSE English exam, Notice Writing is one of the easiest scoring questions. Most students already know the basics, but they lose marks because they forget the exact format or add unnecessary lines. CBSE expects a clean, fixed structure. Once you learn it properly, you can score full marks every single time. Here is the same explanation we use when helping own students.

Notice Writing is the skill of presenting important information in a brief, clear, and formal manner using a fixed format that includes the name of the school, the date, a title, the main message, and a signature.

What CBSE Really Checks in Notice Writing

When CBSE checks a notice, the examiner mainly looks for a few simple things. The first is the format. If the school name, the word NOTICE, the date, a short title, the main message and the signature are all in the correct order, the student has already covered the foundation. A lot of marks are lost when one small part of the format is missing or placed in the wrong spot.

After the format, clarity becomes important. A notice should be easy to understand the moment someone reads it. If the lines are too long or the student adds information that is not required, the message becomes confusing. CBSE prefers a formal and steady tone because a notice is an official announcement for many readers, not a personal explanation.

The examiner also checks how brief the writing is. A CBSE notice should fit within the given word limit, usually close to fifty words. This helps the student focus only on the essential points. These include what the notice is about, when the event or incident is happening, where it will take place and what the readers are expected to do.

Because Notice Writing carries four or five marks in many school assessments, getting these simple parts correct can make a strong difference in the final score. It is a small question, but CBSE treats it with very clear expectations.

CBSE NOTICE WRITING FORMAT

This is the exact format CBSE accepts:

NAME OF THE SCHOOL

NOTICE

Date

TITLE or SUBJECT

Body of the notice

Signature

Name

Designation

Keep everything aligned to the left. No borders are required unless your school specifically asks for it.

How to Write the Body the CBSE Way

CBSE wants only two or three short lines covering what the notice is about, when and where the event or incident takes place, and any instructions if required. Extra descriptions, storytelling, or emotional words reduce marks.

CBSE WORD LIMIT

Write your notice in 50 words. Never go beyond 60.

Common CBSE Mistakes Students Make

We see these mistakes repeatedly during practice sessions: writing more than required, forgetting the title, writing in first person, starting with long unnecessary phrases, missing the signature line, writing dramatic sentences, or using an incorrect date format. Correct format means easy marks.

Teacher’s Quick Tips

• These are the tips we give our CBSE students before their exam.

• Keep the sentence structure simple. Read the question twice to catch details.Never skip the name or designation. Be factual, not emotional. Do not invent stories.Use present or future tense.Check the spelling of names carefully.

• Small errors can cut marks in CBSE.

How Wisdom Point Can Help in Notice Writing

At Wisdom Point, our team has seen something again and again. Students understand the format, but when they actually start writing, they pause. They are not sure which details matter and which ones don’t. So during sessions, our teachers slow the pace and walk them through the question the way a real classroom teacher would do, not in a rushed, textbook style.

We usually look at a sample together first. Students read the question, and we underline the important bits. Once they see how simple the selection of details actually is, their writing becomes clearer. Many children realise that the notice doesn’t need fancy sentences or long explanations. Just the main points. This small shift helps a lot.

Tone is another thing we work on. CBSE expects a notice to sound formal, but not stiff or heavy. A lot of students start writing too casually or add lines that sound like a story. Our teachers gently correct this, showing them how to stay official but still natural.

Feedback is where the improvement really shows. The team reads each notice and gives comments that are easy to understand. Maybe the title is too long, or a date is missing, or the line can be shorter. These tiny adjustments slowly build confidence, and students start getting the format right on their own.

With regular practice and steady, warm support, children begin writing notices that are neat, correct, and quick to produce. And their exam answers look much better too. Our goal at Wisdom Point is always the same. We help students understand why they are writing something, not just copy it.

If you feel your child needs gentle guidance and a little more clarity in writing tasks, our team would be happy to help. You can book a class or simply reach out anytime. Call or WhatsApp +91 8240556421
