New Delhi, March 6 -- The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Thursday cancelled Class 10 board examinations including those papers which were earlier postponed in several West Asian countries in the wake of the war between Iran and US and Israel. The board will later notify the mode of declaration of results for thousands of affected students studying in over 150 CBSE-affiliated schools in Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). For Class 12, the board has postponed the March 7 examination and said it will "review the situation" the same day before taking a call on papers scheduled from March 9 onwards. In its third circular this week, dated March 5, 2026, the Board said that after a "critical review" of the situation in Middle East regions, the board announced that all Class 10 examinations scheduled from March 7 to March 11, 2026, stand cancelled. The examinations earlier scheduled on March 2, March 5 and March 6 - which had already been postponed through earlier circulars issued on March 1 and March 3 - have also been cancelled. "The mode of declaration of results for Class 10 students in the Middle East will be notified in due course," said CBSE exam controller Dr Sanyam Bhardwaj. According to the circular, Class 12 examination scheduled on Saturday, March 7, has been postponed. "All Class 12 students are advised to remain in close contact with their schools and follow official announcements carefully," Bhardwaj said. CBSE officials did not respond to HT's queries....
