The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) has started the Class 12 board examinations for the academic year 2025-26 on 10 February 2026. As per the revised timetable, the annual board tests for Class 12 students will be conducted in pen-and-paper mode across thousands of centres in the state, continuing through 7 March 2026.
MPBSE Class 12 Exam Dates & Schedule
The MP Board’s Class 12 exam schedule for 2026 was released earlier and revised before the examination cycle. According to the latest timetable, exams for Class 12 began on 10 February 2026 and will conclude on 7 March 2026, with theory papers held in the morning session from 9 AM to 12 noon on each scheduled date. Students should check the official MPBSE date sheet 2026 for their specific subject dates and ensure they report to their exam centres on time. Exams typically start with subjects like English on the first day and proceed through other streams — science, commerce and arts — as per the timetable.
MPBSE Class 12 Exam Day Reporting Time and Conduct Rules
MP Board officials and administrators have outlined reporting time and key exam rules for the safety and integrity of the evaluation process:
- Candidates must reach their exam centres by at least 8 AM, well before the distribution of question papers.
- The question paper distribution generally begins around 8:50 AM, and the exam starts strictly at 9 AM.
- Students are advised to carry their MPBSE Class 12 admit card, valid ID and essential stationery.

Strict measures such as CCTV monitoring, honesty boxes for prohibited items and other surveillance initiatives are in place to prevent malpractice during the board exams.
