The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announces special Class 12 board exams for students who are affected by the West Asia crisis. The move is aimed at students whose 2026 examinations were not conducted in certain West Asian countries due to regional disruptions.
According to reports, CBSE will hold fresh examinations in the affected locations rather than treat the students as having an incomplete or cancelled assessment. NDTV specifies that the special exams will be conducted in West Asian countries where the scheduled 2026 exams were not held. India Today similarly reports the announcement of special Class 12 examinations for students impacted by the crisis, framing it as a relief measure for those facing the inability to take the regular boards.
Both outlets present the decision as a targeted accommodation by CBSE, with the central point being that additional exam opportunities are being provided for affected students in West Asia where the original exam timetable could not proceed.
