The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday announced the tentative dates for the 2026 Class X and Class XII board examinations. The exams will be conducted from February 17 to July 15, 2026, across India and abroad. This is the first time that board exams for Class X will be conducted twice in an academic session. “While the first edition will be conducted from February 17 to March 6, 2026, the second edition is scheduled from May 15 to June 1,” CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said. The Class XII board exams will be conducted from February 17 to April 9, 2026, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
