CBSE Class 10 And 12 Exams Postponed: Indian Embassy In Kuwait Issues Advisory Amid Regional Tensions

The Embassy of India in Kuwait has announced that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has postponed the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations scheduled for March 5 and March 6, 2026.

The decision has been taken due to the ongoing regional situation in the Gulf region. Authorities said the move is a precautionary step to ensure the safety and well-being of students.

Which Exams Have Been Postponed?

According to the official press release, the CBSE exams planned for:

March 5, 2026
March 6, 2026
have been postponed in Kuwait.

The new dates for these exams will be announced later. Students and parents are advised not to rely on unofficial information and to wait for formal confirmation.

What About Exams After March 6?

The CBSE has stated that it will review the situation again on March 5, 2026. After assessing conditions, the board will take a final decision regarding exams scheduled from March 7 onwards.

This means that exams planned after March 6 are not yet cancelled, but their status will depend on how the regional situation develops.

Why Was the Decision Taken?

The postponement comes in view of rising tensions in the Gulf region. Although no specific threat has been mentioned, authorities have chosen to act carefully.

In such situations, ensuring student safety becomes the top priority. Travel disruptions, security concerns, or emergency measures in the region may affect students' ability to reach examination centres safely.

By postponing the exams, CBSE aims to avoid unnecessary stress and risk for students and families.

Advice for Students and Parents

The Embassy of India has advised all students to remain in regular contact with their respective schools for the latest updates.

Students should:

• Stay connected with school authorities
• Check official CBSE announcements
• Avoid spreading or believing unverified news
• Continue preparing calmly for their exams

Parents are also encouraged to monitor official communication channels for accurate information.

The fresh dates for the postponed exams will be announced once the situation stabilises. CBSE will continue to monitor developments closely before making further decisions.
For now, students are advised to stay safe, remain patient, and focus on their preparation while waiting for updated schedules.

The safety of students remains the highest priority, and further announcements are expected soon.
