CBSE has cancelled remaining Class 12 board exams in West Asia due to the ongoing war, calling conduct “infeasible”. As per its notification, students’ results will now be based on completed exams and internal assessments like pre-boards. The board said the policy aims to ensure fairness and transparency despite disruptions affecting multiple countries.
CBSE: In a major move that will impact thousands of students in West Asia countries due to the US-Iran-Israel war. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a notification that announces a special assessment scheme for class XII students in West Asian countries, where the board exams were in the middle of the process due to prevailing circumstances.
The decision applies to students studying in CBSE-affiliated schools across Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. According to the board, conducting examinations in these regions became “infeasible” due to extraordinary conditions, prompting the cancellation of all remaining Class 12.
The Class 12 board examinations had originally begun on February 17, 2026, and were scheduled to conclude by April 10. While examinations conducted up to February 28th had been successfully conducted, the war situation did not allow for the further conduct of exams.
This presented the board with a complex challenge of how best to ensure fair, reliable, and unbiased results for the students who had not been able to complete their exams.
