CBSE Class 12 board exams postponed till March 16 in Middle East amid conflict

The Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE, has postponed the Class 12 board examinations scheduled between March 9 and March 16 in several Middle Eastern countries, bringing relief to students studying in the Gulf region.

The decision comes amid escalating tensions linked to the US-Israel-Iran war, with the board prioritising student safety while closely monitoring the evolving situation



in the region.

CBSE had issued a circular earlier in the day notifying that the board exams had been postponed from March 9 to 11. Now, the dates have been extended to March 16.

According to an official CBSE circular issued on March 7, the board will reassess the situation on March 10 before taking a call on examinations scheduled from March 12 onwards.
