The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the postponement of certain Class 10 and Class 12 examinations originally scheduled for March 3, 2026, citing administrative reasons.

The Class 12 Legal Studies paper, initially scheduled for March 3, will now be conducted on April 10, 2026. All other examination dates remain unchanged.
In a circular dated December 29, 2025, Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj, Controller of Examinations, wrote to principals of CBSE-affiliated schools: “The examinations of the subjects for Class 10 and Class 12, which were earlier scheduled on 03 March 2026, have been rescheduled due to administrative reasons.
"The revised dates are as follows: Class 10 - March 11, 2026; Class 12 - April 10, 2026. All other examination dates remain unchanged.”
