What’s changed for CBSE Class 12 exams 2026?

For Class 12, the CBSE has also revised dates for key papers, including Business Studies, Business Administration, Psychology, and Accountancy. The board said these adjustments were made after considering the large number of subject combinations and national entrance exam dates.

Explaining the complexity, Bhardwaj added, “The date sheet has been prepared by avoiding more than 40,000 subject combinations to ensure that no two subjects’ examinations offered by a student fall on the same date.”
