The Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE/BSER), Ajmer, has officially released the main theory examination dates for the Class 10 (Secondary) and Class 12 (Senior Secondary) Board Exams for the academic session 2025-26. This significant announcement provides students across the state with a crucial framework to finalize their preparation strategies. While the exact subject-wise schedule in PDF format is yet to be published, the core exam window has been confirmed, eliminating the major uncertainty for approximately 20 lakh students.
Core Exam Dates and Key Timelines Confirmed
In a notification released on December 4, 2025, the Rajasthan Board confirmed that the main theory examinations for both Class 10 and Class 12 will be conducted between February 12, 2026, and March 12, 2026. This schedule marks a notable shift, beginning the examinations nearly three weeks earlier than the previous academic year. All theory papers for both classes will be held in a single morning shift, running from 8:30 AM to 11:45 AM. Furthermore, the Class 12 practical examinations are tentatively scheduled to be held in the month of January 2026, typically at the students' respective schools. Students are advised to contact their schools for the internal practical schedules as they are determined at the local level.
Detailed Subject-Wise PDF Release Expected Soon
The detailed RBSE Time Table 2026 PDF, which will contain the specific date for each subject (Science, Commerce, Arts, and Vocational), the subject code, and important instructions for exam day, is expected to be released by the board anytime now. Given that the official exam window has been announced, the subject-wise date sheet usually follows within a few days or the next week. Students are strongly advised to regularly monitor the official RBSE website, rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in, where the PDF link will be made available under the "News Update" or "Board Main Exam. 2026" section. Once released, candidates must download the PDF and cross-verify their subject combinations to prepare their final revision calendars.
Major Examination Reform Introduced
In a significant move aimed at reducing student stress and improving overall performance, the Rajasthan government has announced that starting from the 2026-27 academic session, Class 10 and Class 12 students will have the option to appear for the board examination twice a year. While the first main exam will remain in the traditional February-March window, a second opportunity (improvement exam) will be conducted later in the year, likely in May-June. This reform, though primarily impacting the following session, reflects the board's commitment to prioritizing student welfare and providing a robust framework for academic success.
