Why are fresh exams being held for West Asia Class 12 students?
CBSE cancelled Class 12 board examinations in seven Middle Eastern countries—Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE—due to the prevailing war situation. To ensure fairness, the board introduced a special assessment scheme for result preparation, which was notified on March 27. Results under this scheme were declared on May 13 for both regular and private candidates. However, students dissatisfied with their marks were given the option to appear in fresh exams for the 40 subjects that were cancelled.
Which students are eligible to appear in the fresh exams?
Only Class 12 candidates from the seven West Asian countries—Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE—whose exams were cancelled and whose results were declared under the special assessment scheme are eligible. The conducting body has clarified that candidates may appear in subjects of their choice from the 40 cancelled papers. No examination fee will be charged for these fresh exams.
Key exclusions
- Candidates who were not affected by the cancellation of exams in these countries are not eligible.
- No post-result declaration facilities, such as verification or re-evaluation, will be provided after the fresh exams.
What is the examination process for the fresh exams?
The fresh exams will be conducted in the 40 subjects that were previously cancelled. Candidates must submit examination forms directly. The result of these fresh exams will be final and will replace the earlier performance. The examination centres will remain unchanged from the original centres where the exams were scheduled. The date sheet and examination dates will be announced only after the forms are filled.
How will the fresh exam results impact students?
The result of the fresh examination will be considered final and will replace the earlier performance. This means that the marks obtained in the fresh exam will be the ones reflected in the final Class 12 certificate for affected students. No further changes or facilities, such as verification or re-evaluation, will be available after the declaration of these results.

The conducting body has not specified a timeline for the submission of examination forms or the announcement of the date sheet.
