The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) 2026 board exams for Classes 10 and 12 begin on 17 February. Students must reach exam centres by 10:00 am and follow strict dress codes: regular students wear full school uniforms, while private candidates opt for plain, light clothing. Jewellery, heavy shoes, metal accessories, and electronic devices are prohibited. CBSE advises visiting centres in advance, planning travel carefully, checking official timetables, and maintaining a calm, organised mindset to ensure smooth and stress-free exam days.
