The Central Board of Secondary Education has officially issued admit cards for private candidates registered for the upcoming Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. Students can now access their hall tickets through the board's primary website at cbse.gov.in.
Important Examination Dates and Entry Requirements
Board examinations for both Class 10 and Class 12 will commence on February 17, 2026. The testing period will continue through April 9, 2026. All candidates must bring a physical, printed copy of their admit card to the examination center. Entry into the examination hall will be strictly denied without this document.

Verifying Admit Card Details
The board strongly advises all students to meticulously review every detail printed on their admit card. This includes verifying the candidate's full name, assigned board roll number, and the complete schedule of subject examination dates. The document also lists practical and theory component details, total marks, passing criteria, and the full address and code of the allotted examination center.
Should you discover any error or discrepancy, you must report it promptly to your concerned CBSE regional office. Do not delay this process.
Recent CBSE Advisory for Students
In related news, the CBSE issued an important advisory last week. The board warned students and parents to exercise extreme caution against enrolling in fake or unrecognized universities for the 2026–27 academic session. In its official notice, CBSE instructed affiliated schools to counsel their senior students. The board emphasized the importance of verifying the recognition status of any higher education institution through the official University Grants Commission website before admission.
This move aims to protect students from fraudulent institutions and ensure they pursue valid educational qualifications.
