CBSE Board Exams 2026: 'Avoid Social Media, No Verification of Marks for Class 12 After Results', Says CBSE Exam Controller

During a recent live webinar, the CBSE Exam Controller shared crucial insights and guidelines for the upcoming 2026 board exams for Class 10 and Class 12 students. The session focused on ensuring students are well-prepared and aware of the latest instructions, including significant changes in evaluation methods. As part of the preparations, students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the updated exam formats and assessment criteria to optimize their performance. A key highlight from the webinar was the advice for students to minimize their use of social media during the exam period. The CBSE Exam Controller emphasized that excessive social media engagement could lead to distractions and increased anxiety, potentially affecting students' focus and performance. By reducing screen time, students can better concentrate on their studies and enhance their chances of success in the exams. Additionally, the webinar clarified that there would be no provision for verification of marks for Class 12 students after results are announced. This change underscores the importance of accuracy and diligence during the evaluation process. Students are urged to ensure their examination scripts are complete and well-organized before submission, as the opportunity to request re-evaluation will not be available. These measures aim to uphold the integrity and efficiency of the examination system.
