RBSE Class 12 Exam 2026 Dates Revised: Updated Schedule to Be Announced

The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) has issued important updates regarding the Class 12 board examinations for 2026, including revisions to the date and exam timings for certain papers. Students appearing for the RBSE Class 12 exams this year are advised to review these changes carefully and plan their preparation accordingly.

Why the Schedule Was Revised

The board revised parts of the Class 12 exam timetable after evaluating student numbers at various examination centres and capacity constraints. To ensure a smoother conduct of exams and better distribution of candidates across centres, RBSE made adjustments to the schedule and timings of select papers.

What's Changed in the RBSE Class 12 2026 Schedule

1. Updated Exam Dates and Timings

While the core exam period remains largely unchanged, the board has revised the timings and sequence of certain exams to manage logistical challenges:

• The board has changed the timings of specific subject papers (including Computer Science and Drawing), shifting them from the morning slot to the afternoon session for better coordination.

• RBSE announced that some subjects originally scheduled in the morning shift will now be held from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM, instead of the earlier 8:30 AM to 11:45 AM schedule.

These adjusted timings apply to exams scheduled on 17 February and 24 February 2026, among others.

Overall Exam Timeline

According to the officially released timetable, the RBSE board exams for both Class 10 and Class 12 will be conducted in offline pen-and-paper mode across Rajasthan in February and March 2026:

• Start Date: 12 February 2026
• Expected End Date: 11 March 2026 (for most papers)

The detailed, subject-wise date sheet continues to be available on RBSE's official website and through school notices issued to students.
