Important Guidelines for Students (Board Exams 2026)

February 2026 is the main month for Class 10 and Class 12 board exams across India. During this time, schools and education boards focus only on conducting exams smoothly. Because of this, big school holidays are very unlikely in February. Students should be ready to attend exams as per the schedule given by their board.

To avoid any problem on exam day, students must follow these important rules:

  • Do not carry banned items: Mobile phones, calculators, smartwatches, or any electronic devices are not allowed inside the exam hall.

  • Follow OMR rules: Do not use whitener, blade, or any liquid on the OMR sheet. This can cancel your answer sheet.

  • Use reading time properly: Students get 15 minutes extra time to read the question paper before starting to write. Use this time to understand the questions carefully.

Students should attend school as usual on 5 February 2026 unless their school authority issues an official holiday notice.
