Around 45 lakh students from India and 26 other countries are expected to appear in the CBSE board examinations 2026.

The Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) class 10 and class 12 board exam date sheet is out months before the examination. This gives the students ample time to devise a plan to tackle one of the most important exams of their lives so far.

Under the new scheme, the first mandatory CBSE Board exam will be held in mid-February, and an optional second exam will be held in May(PTI File)

Around 45 lakh students from India and 26 other countries are expected to appear in the CBSE board examinations 2026. CBSE said that the results will be announced by July 15, 2026.

Sanyam Bhardwaj, CBSE's controller of examinations, said the tentative schedule will help students plan studies effectively, enable schools to coordinate academic and administrative tasks, and allow teachers to manage personal schedules more clearly.

In June this year, CBSE announced the implementation of its policy of conducting Class 10 board exams biannually starting in 2026.

Under the new scheme, the first mandatory exam will be held in mid-February, and an optional second exam will be held in May for those aiming to improve their results in three of four subjects—science, mathematics, social science, and languages.
