The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is scheduled to distribute admit cards for the 2026 Class 10 and Class 12 board exams within the next week. Once given, students can view and download their hall tickets from the official website, cbse.gov.in. The admit card is a required document that must be brought to the examination center on each day of the exam.
Last year, the admissions cards were distributed on February 3. CBSE students should expect their secondary and higher secondary hall tickets to be distributed around this time only. CBSE school administrators give admit cards.

CBSE will hold board exams twice in a single academic year beginning with the 2026 session, marking a significant shift for Class 10 pupils. The first phase is slated for February 17 to March 10, 2026, with the second optional phase taking place from May 15 to June 1, 2026.
What’s changed for CBSE Class 12 exams 2026?
For Class 12, the CBSE has also revised dates for key papers, including Business Studies, Business Administration, Psychology, and Accountancy. The board said these adjustments were made after considering the large number of subject combinations and national entrance exam dates.
Explaining the complexity, Bhardwaj added, “The date sheet has been prepared by avoiding more than 40,000 subject combinations to ensure that no two subjects’ examinations offered by a student fall on the same date.”
