The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has once again postponed the Class 12 examinations scheduled for West Asia, now set to resume on March 16. This decision comes amid escalating tensions in the region due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which has raised security concerns for students and educational institutions. In an official circular, the CBSE stated that new examination dates will be announced after a review of the situation on March 14. The board's priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of students, prompting the need for this delay. The decision reflects the board's commitment to adapting to the evolving geopolitical landscape and prioritizing the academic needs of students in affected areas. As the situation remains fluid, stakeholders are urged to stay updated on further announcements from the CBSE regarding the status of examinations and related protocols.
