The decision, communicated via an official circular on Monday, comes as a direct response to the escalating geopolitical tensions and humanitarian uncertainties currently impacting the region.

After a critical review of the current situation in parts of the Middle East (Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE), mental agony of the students and the prevailing uncertainties, the Board has decided to postpone the examinations scheduled from 12 March 2026 (Thursday) to 16 March 2026 (Monday). The new dates shall be announced later,” CBSE said in its latest circular.

“The Board will review the situation on 14 March 2026 (Saturday) and take appropriate decisions with regard to all remaining examinations scheduled from 16 March onwards. All students are advised to stay in touch with their schools for updates and follow official announcements carefully,” CBSE added.

The CBSE has advised all affected students and parents to maintain close communication with their respective school administrations. Candidates are further urged to rely strictly on official announcements via the Board’s digital platforms to avoid misinformation during this period of flux.
