Kerala SSLC & Plus Two Exams 2026 Postponed in Middle East Region

The Kerala SSLC and Plus Two board examinations 2026 for students located in the Middle East have been postponed due to the continuing regional conflict situation. This development affects students from the Gulf and neighbouring Middle Eastern countries where the SSLC (Class 10) and Plus Two (Class 12) exams were scheduled to be held as part of the state board’s annual examination cycle. The decision comes in response to ongoing tensions and safety concerns in parts of the Middle East, particularly linked to the Iran-Israel conflict and related unrest in the region. Authorities have recommended delaying the exams to ensure the safety and well-being of students appearing outside India.

Details of the Postponement

According to media reports, the Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan is expected to issue an official circular soon outlining the revised timetable and formal confirmation of the postponement. The decision currently applies only to students taking the SSLC and Plus Two board exams at centres in the Middle East region, while the examinations in Kerala and Lakshadweep will continue as per the originally published schedule.

What This Means for Students in the Gulf

• Exams originally scheduled in Gulf and Middle Eastern centres have been deferred and will not be held on the earlier planned dates.
• Students and parents in affected regions should monitor updates from Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan and their respective schools for the new exam dates and detailed instructions.
• The postponement does not currently affect the exam schedule for students writing the SSLC and Plus Two exams within India or in other regions.

Where to Check Official Updates

Once released, the official circular and updated date sheet will be made available on the Kerala board’s official website and through notices issued by Pareeksha Bhavan. Students in affected regions are advised to stay in contact with their schools and follow verified communication channels for accurate information and revised timetables.
