CBSE Exam 2026 Postponement: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has once again postponed board exams in seven West Asian countries due to the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel. Class 10th and 12th exams scheduled for March 5th and 6th in the affected countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have now been postponed. Previously, the March 3rd exam was also postponed due to security concerns.
