The recent leak of the Chhattisgarh Board Hindi paper has raised concerns among students, parents, and educators across the state. The Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education (CGBSE) has officially cancelled the Class 12 Hindi examination and announced a re-exam date following reports of a question paper leak.
Why Was the CGBSE Hindi Exam Cancelled?
According to official updates, the Class 12 Hindi question paper was allegedly circulating on social media platforms and WhatsApp groups shortly before the exam began on March 14, 2026. When authorities compared the circulating paper with the original, they found certain similarities, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the exam.
In response, the board, along with officials from the education department, conducted a preliminary inquiry. Based on the findings, the decision was made to cancel the exam to ensure fairness and transparency for all students.
The board declared the Hindi examination (code 010/810) “null and void,” emphasizing its commitment to maintaining the credibility of the examination process.
CGBSE Class 12 Re-Exam Date and Timing
The Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education has now rescheduled the Class 12 Hindi exam. The re-examination will be held on April 10, 2026, giving students additional time to prepare.
- Exam Date: April 10, 2026
- Timing: 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM
Students are advised to follow the same guidelines and instructions as previously issued for the board exams. It’s also important to stay updated through official notifications to avoid misinformation.
Impact on Students
While exam cancellations can be stressful, this decision has been taken in the best interest of students. Conducting a re-exam ensures that all candidates are evaluated fairly, without any undue advantage.
Students now have an opportunity to revise their syllabus and improve their performance. Instead of worrying, it’s best to use this additional time wisely and focus on strengthening preparation.
