Board Exam Dates Will Not Clash with JEE Main 2026 Exam 

CBSE mentioned that some important points were considered while preparing the datesheet this time, including:

• Sufficient gaps have been provided between two papers for every student.
• For class 12th students, the exam dates have been set keeping in mind the dates of entrance exams (like JEE Main).
• The evaluation schedule has been balanced so that teachers do not have to stay away from school for long periods.
• This time, the timetable has been created considering over 40,000 subject combinations to ensure that no student has two papers on the same day.
