Bhopal, Jan 13 (NationPress) The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) has unveiled a modified examination schedule for the 2026 High School (Class 10) and Higher Secondary (Class 12) assessments. This adjustment aims to enhance student convenience while addressing logistical challenges.

The revised timetable was published via an official notification on January 9, 2026, and is accessible on the MPBSE website at mpbse.nic.in.

Significant changes pertain to language subjects, which have been postponed to later dates without altering the overall examination timeline.

For Class 10, the Hindi exam, originally scheduled for February 11, 2026, will now take place on March 6, 2026.

This delay affords students extra preparation time for this essential subject.

In Class 12, the Urdu and Marathi exams, initially set for February 9, 2026, will also occur on March 6, 2026.

The Hindi exam, which was supposed to be held on February 7, has been postponed to March 7, 2026. These modifications rearrange the early examination period, resulting in a more balanced distribution of subjects.

Class 12 theory exams will commence on February 10, 2026, while Class 10 exams are set to begin on February 13, 2026.

All theory examinations across both classes will be conducted in a single morning shift from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The Board has advised students to arrive at the examination centers by 8:00 AM, with seating at 8:30 AM; entry will close at 8:45 AM, followed by OMR sheet distribution at 8:50 AM and question papers at 8:55 AM.

Practical examinations for regular students will occur at their respective schools from February 10 to March 10, 2026, while private candidates will take their exams at designated centers during the same timeframe.

The MPBSE has instructed all affiliated schools to promptly communicate the revised timetable to students and parents. Institutions should display the new schedule on notice boards, announce it during assemblies, and share it via parent communication channels such as WhatsApp.

Students are encouraged to download the complete updated date sheet directly from the official MPBSE portal for accurate reference. This revision impacts over 16.60 lakh students expected to participate in the 2026 Board exams.

The Board emphasizes that while the current timetable is final, it retains the authority to make further modifications if necessary, with updates communicated through official channels. Authorities urge candidates to stay informed and adjust their study plans accordingly to ensure optimal performance.
