The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has finally released the definitive date sheet for the Class 10 and 12 board examinations for the 2025-26 academic year. The examinations for both classes are firmly scheduled to commence on February 17, 2026.
In a landmark move aligning with the sweeping changes proposed by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, CBSE has also confirmed a major structural change for its secondary students. Starting from the 2026 academic session, students appearing for the Class 10 board examination will face two board examinations within the academic year.
The board specifically stated: "This is the first time that CBSE has released the final date sheet nearly 110 days before the exam, owing to the timely submission of the list of candidates (LOC) by schools."
