CBSE Cancels Class 10 Board Exams In Middle East, Postpones March 7 Class 12 Paper

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the cancellation of Class 10 board examinations scheduled to take place in Middle Eastern countries from March 7 to 11, 2026. This decision was prompted by the ongoing regional situation, which has raised concerns about the safety and feasibility of conducting the exams in those areas. Students and parents were informed of the CBSE's decision in light of these circumstances. Additionally, the board has decided to postpone the Class 12 examinations that were also set for March 7, indicating a broader impact on the examination schedule for Indian students abroad. This move reflects the CBSE's commitment to prioritizing the well-being of students amidst challenging conditions. The board has not yet announced alternative arrangements for the affected students but is expected to provide further updates in due course. This cancellation may affect a significant number of students aiming to complete their board examinations in a timely manner, highlighting the ongoing disruptions faced by educational systems due to regional instabilities.
