Overview
- CBSE has not released the 2026 hall tickets yet, with media reports pointing to a window roughly 10–12 days before the exams.
- Board examinations are slated to start in mid-February, with outlets citing February 15 or February 17, and continue through March or April depending on the class and subject.
- Based on past patterns, a Times Now analysis projects an admit-card release around February 3–4, which remains unconfirmed by CBSE.
- Regular candidates will collect hall tickets from their schools, while private candidates must download them from cbse.gov.in using their credentials and carry a printed copy with valid ID to the exam centre.
- Authorities have cautioned students and institutions against unverified social media messages and urged them to track only official CBSE communications for schedules and admit-card notices.
