The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) will hold the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams 2026 beginning 12 February 2026, with Class 10 exams running until 28 February 2026 and Class 12 exams until 11 March 2026. The schedule covers a range of subjects across academic streams and requires careful final‑phase preparation.
Recent updates also indicate enhanced security measures such as videography and CCTV monitoring at exam centres across multiple districts to safeguard the integrity of the exam process.
Understand the Exam Schedule and Format
Students should first familiarise themselves with the official exam timetable released by RBSE. Knowing exact dates and sequencing helps prioritise topics:
- Class 10 exams: 12 February – 28 February 2026
- Class 12 exams: 12 February – 11 March 2026
The timetable allows multiple study cycles before each paper — planning daily and weekly targets can ensure all subjects get covered thoroughly.
Revision Strategy: What to Focus On?
As exam days approach, students should prioritise strategic revision rather than starting new topics. Key focus areas include:
1. Core Syllabus Concepts
Go over foundational chapters in each subject, especially those with high weightage in previous exams. For Class 10, this often includes Mathematics fundamentals, Social Science themes, and Science principles. For Class 12, focus on major theory concepts across streams such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Accountancy, Economics and History.
2. Model Papers and Sample Questions
Practising model papers and sample question PDFs released by RBSE helps familiarise students with question formats and marking patterns. Consolidating past papers can boost speed and accuracy.
3. Active Revision Techniques
- Create condensed note summaries for each chapter.
- Use flashcards for quick recall of formulas, dates, definitions and key terms.
- Schedule timed mock tests to simulate exam conditions — this particularly helps in managing time during lengthy papers.
4. Balanced Breaks and Health
While revision intensity increases, students must also manage stress effectively. Adequate sleep, short breaks between study sessions, and light physical activity support better retention and reduce burnout.
Make Use of Breaks and Holidays
According to exam scheduling information, students will have several holidays and Sunday breaks between papers, which can be used for targeted revision or rest. Strategic use of these intervals will help reinforce learned material without causing exhaustion.
Final Checklist Before Each Exam
On the eve of each paper, students should ensure the following:
- The admit card is printed and all details are correctly filled.
- Essential items like pens, pencils, erasers are ready.
- A calm review of “one‑page summaries” or quick notes is done to consolidate memory.
Approaching the exams with a clear plan and realistic goals can significantly improve confidence and performance as the board examinations progress.
