The Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) just dropped the official 2026 exam schedule for Class 10 (HSLC) and Class 12 (HSSLC). Students all over Nagaland can grab the detailed timetable straight from their website at nbsenl.edu.in, a small but important update that’s now part of the Latest News in India.
Here’s what you need to know
Class 12 exams kick off on February 12, 2026. The very next day, February 13, Class 10 students start their tests. Every exam runs in the morning, from 9 AM to noon—no surprises there.
A couple of things to keep in mind
Class 12 practical exams happen earlier, from December 3 to December 12, 2025. That should give everyone enough breathing room to focus on the main theory papers once February rolls around. The board already posted the full subject-wise routine online, so you can download it right away.
If you’re the type who likes to plan ahead, check out our in-depth guide on how to get ready for NBSE board exams months before the big dates. It’ll help you build a revision timetable, tackle tough subjects, and keep stress at bay as February approaches.
Now that the timetable’s out, there’s no reason to wait. Start mapping out your study schedule. Getting this date sheet early takes a load off your mind and lets you space out your revision. Teachers and schools will probably adjust their pre-board tests and review classes to match the new dates.
Don’t forget—bring your admit card on exam day. The board’s made it clear: no admit card means no entry into the exam hall.
