NEW DELHI, 24 Sep: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct Class 10 and 12 board exams from 17 February next year, officials announced on Wednesday.
The board announced a tentative datesheet for the crucial exams.
This is the first time that board exams for Class 10 will be conducted twice in an academic session.
“While the first edition will be conducted from 17 February to 6 March, 2026, the second edition is scheduled from 15 May to 1 June,” CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said.
The Class 12 board exams will be conducted from 17 February to 9 April, 2026, he said.
“As a general guideline, evaluation of answer scripts will commence approximately 10 days after the conduct of each subject’s examination and will be completed within 12 days. For instance, if the Class 12 Physics examination is scheduled for 20th February, 2026, evaluation is likely to begin on 3rd March, 2026 and conclude by 15th March, 2026,” Bhardwaj added. (PTI)
