New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Thursday announced the final schedule for the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations, which will commence on February 17, 2026. According to the revised datesheet, Class 10 exams will conclude on March 10, while Class 12 exams will end on April 9, 2026.
The final timetable replaces the tentative version released last month and includes several modifications, such as the addition of an extra examination day for Class 10.
CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said that the schedule was prepared with students’ convenience in mind. “A sufficient gap has been provided between major subjects for both classes. The dates of entrance examinations for Class 12 students have also been considered, ensuring that board exams finish well in advance,” he said. “This will help students manage their time effectively for both board and entrance exams.”
The board has also made subject-specific changes from the earlier draft. For Class 10, the revised dates affect subjects such as Data Science, French, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Security, and Automotive. For Class 12, changes have been made to the exam schedule for Business Studies, Business Administration, Psychology, and Accountancy.
Officials said the updated schedule aims to ensure a smoother examination process and reduce overlap between commonly chosen subjects.
