The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to release the admit cards for the Class 10 and Class 12 Board Examinations 2026 for regular students shortly. With exams scheduled to start next month, students await the crucial hall tickets for entry.
Release Expected 5-6 Days Before Exam Start
The CBSE Board Exams 2026 are set to begin on 17th February 2026. As per the established pattern, the board releases admit cards for regular students approximately five to six days before the commencement of the examinations. This means hall tickets are likely to be available in the second week of February 2026. Admit cards for private candidates have already been issued.
The CBSE admit card is a compulsory document for entry into the examination centre. No student will be permitted to enter the exam hall without it on any exam day. Candidates must carry their hall ticket for every paper.
How to Download and Crucial Details to Verify
The admit cards for regular students will be downloaded by their respective schools from the official CBSE website (cbse.gov.in). Students must collect them from their schools and meticulously verify all details, including:
- Student’s Name and Roll Number
- Examination Centre Name and Complete Address
- Subject-wise Dates and Days of Exams
- Student’s Photograph and Signature
Any discrepancy must be reported to school authorities immediately for correction before the exams.
