CBSE Board Exams Fake Notice: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has debunked a fake rumour, which claimed that the Class 10 and 12 board examinations in the Middle East region are cancelled. The board confirmed that the circular is not authentic and said an official update will be issued shortly.
The board examinations are currently being conducted at 8,074 centres for Class 10 and 7,574 centres for Class 12 across India and in 26 countries abroad, covering over 43 lakh students.
The fake notice had claimed that certain board exams were being cancelled due to extraordinary global circumstances and prevailing war conditions in some countries. It also mentioned the cancellation of language papers until February 28 and the Class 10 Social Science (SST) examination scheduled for March 7, 2026. Students are advised to note that this information is false.
In an official post on X (formerly Twitter), CBSE issued an important alert stating that the notice is fake and that an official update will follow.
