The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a warning regarding a fake notice circulating on social media that claims revised exam dates for CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 Board Exams 2026 in Middle Eastern countries. The board clarified that the notice is not genuine and urged students, parents, and schools to rely only on official announcements.
According to CBSE, the misleading circular suggested that the CBSE Board Exam 2026 scheduled in the Middle East had been postponed or rescheduled. However, the board has confirmed that no such decision has been taken, and the existing examination schedule continues as planned.
CBSE Advisory for Students and Schools
CBSE has advised students, parents, and school authorities not to rely on unverified information shared on social media platforms. The board noted that fake notices can create unnecessary confusion among students who are preparing for the board examinations.
The advisory emphasised that official announcements regarding CBSE board exams, results, or schedule changes are always issued through authorised communication channels. Students and institutions are therefore encouraged to verify any exam-related information before accepting it as valid.
Such misinformation is particularly concerning during the board examination period, as it may affect students' preparation and exam planning.
Steps to Verify Official CBSE Notifications
CBSE has also provided guidance on how students and parents can confirm the authenticity of exam-related notices. Following official sources helps avoid confusion caused by fake or misleading circulars. Before trusting any notification, students and parents should follow these steps:
- Visit the official CBSE website: cbse.gov.in
- Check the latest announcements or circulars section for updates
- Verify notices only through official CBSE websites or verified social media handles
The board reiterated that any official update regarding the CBSE Board Exam 2026 schedule for Class 10 and Class 12will be published only through its authorised platforms. Students and schools are advised to stay alert and avoid sharing unverified information.
