The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) is preparing to announce the official subject-wise schedule for the upcoming Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations for the year 2026. According to various media reports, students and schools can expect the crucial date sheet to be published on the board's official portal in the coming weeks, with a likely window between late November and early December 2025.
Anticipated RBSE 2026 Exam Timeline
Staying true to its annual schedule, the Rajasthan Board typically releases the timetable about one to two months before the commencement of the main theory examinations. This provides ample time for students to finalize their revision strategy. The complete timeline for the RBSE 2026 exams is projected as follows:
Time Table Release: Late November – Early December 2025
Practical and Internal Assessments: Tentatively January 2026
Class 10 Theory Exams: March – April 2026
Class 12 Theory Exams (All Streams): March – April 2026
Once released, the official PDF will contain the specific dates, timings, and important day-wise instructions for students across the Science, Commerce, and Arts streams for Class 12, and for all Class 10 subjects.

Understanding the RBSE 2026 Exam Pattern
To prepare effectively, students must be familiar with the examination structure. The RBSE 2026 board exams for both Class 10 and 12 are designed to evaluate a student's theoretical understanding as well as practical proficiency.
The theory examinations are generally held in a single shift, from 8:30 AM to 11:45 AM. The question papers for most subjects are typically divided into various sections, which can include objective-type questions, short-answer questions, and long-answer questions. Each theory paper usually carries a total of 100 marks.
For many subjects, especially in Class 12 Science, the total marks are a combination of theory and practical or internal assessment components. The practical examinations are scheduled separately and are tentatively set to be conducted in January 2026, often a few weeks before the main theory papers begin. It is mandatory for students to secure the minimum passing marks in both the theory and practical/internal assessment segments to successfully clear the subject.
Grasping this exam pattern allows students to allocate their study time wisely, manage the three-hour exam duration efficiently, and adequately prepare for the practical tests.
