The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) releases the 2026 schedule for its Class 12 special examinations for candidates in West Asia. The exams are set to run from October 23 to October 28, with the schedule published for all eligible applicants.
Outlets report that the special examination provision is for students who could not appear for their regular exams. India Today and Times of India link the need for the special exams to disruption amid Israel–Iran tensions, while NDTV focuses on the administrative details of the release. NDTV and Times of India also state that admit cards will be made available for download starting October 12 for candidates who have submitted their LOC (letter of consent). The reporting agrees that the datesheet is issued via CBSE channels for West Asia candidates, and that eligibility depends on completing the required submission process.
