CBSE Releases 2026 Board Exam Schedule: Final Date Sheet Announced for Class 12
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially released the exam schedule for the 2026 CBSE Board Exams, giving students ample time to prepare. Remarkably, the timetable has been published nearly 110 days before the commencement of the exams, ensuring that students and schools can plan well in advance.
This schedule serves as the final date sheet for Class 12 students.
In an important update aimed at avoiding overlaps between the CBSE exams and the JEE (Main), the National Testing Agency (NTA) has instructed Class 11 students to include their registration number in the JEE (Main) application form. This step is expected to streamline coordination and minimize exam date conflicts for aspiring engineering candidates.
