CBSE Postpones Class 12 Board Exams Till March 11 In Middle East Amid Iran-Israel-US War

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the postponement of Class 12 board exams in the Middle East, now rescheduled to take place no later than March 11, 2026. This decision comes in light of escalating tensions due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, which has significantly impacted several countries in the region, including Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait. These nations are strategically important as they host US military bases, raising concerns about safety and logistical challenges for students during this turbulent period. The CBSE's proactive measure aims to ensure the well-being of its students and to adapt to the evolving geopolitical situation. As students and parents navigate these changes, the board is committed to providing a safe examination environment, reflecting its ongoing dedication to educational stability amidst external challenges.
