The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the admit cards for the upcoming Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. As per the latest update, the hall tickets are now accessible through the dedicated Pariksha Sangam portal at parikshasangam.cbse.gov.in. However, in a shift from some previous years, direct download by regular students has been disabled for the 2026 exams.
The board has instructed all affiliated schools to download the admit cards using their official login credentials and subsequently distribute the physical copies to their students. The CBSE board examinations for both classes are scheduled to commence on February 17, 2026.
CBSE has clarified that access to the admit card download link is currently restricted to school logins only. Authorized school officials, including principals, must retrieve the documents, verify all details meticulously, and ensure each admit card is stamped and signed before issuance.
"Entry to the examination centre will be strictly prohibited without a valid, authenticated admit card," stated a CBSE circular. Students are strongly advised to maintain close contact with their respective schools and collect their hall tickets well in advance to avoid any last-minute complications.
