KOLKATA: The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) has announced a crucial update for students planning to take the Madhyamik Pariksha (Class 10) in 2026 . The Board has opened a special online registration window for schools to register students who missed the earlier deadline. This is a final opportunity for many students to enroll for the upcoming board exams.
The online registration process began on December 22, 2025 , at 11:00 AM. Schools must complete and submit student data online by December 29, 2025 , at 6:00 PM. The final online registration, including payment of fees, must be completed by 11:59 PM on the same date. It is important for schools and students to note that all registrations during this special window will require a late fee.
The WBBSE has taken this step in the interest of students, ensuring that those who could not complete their registration earlier still get a chance. This special window is for various types of candidates, including regular students appearing for the first time, continuing students who need to clear some subjects, and compartmental students focused on specific failed subjects.
Here are the important dates for the Madhyamik Pariksha 2026 registration and the main examinations:
| Event | Key Dates |
| Online Registration Window Opens | December 22, 2025 (11:00 AM) |
| Last Date for School Data Submission | December 29, 2025 (6:00 PM) |
| Final Deadline for Online Registration & Payment | December 29, 2025 (11:59 PM) |
| Madhyamik Pariksha 2026 Begins | February 2, 2026 |
| Madhyamik Pariksha 2026 Ends | February 12, 2026 |
Registration Process and Late Fees
Schools are required to access the official WBBSE website to enter and submit the registration data for all eligible students. This includes students categorised as regular, continuing, and compartmental candidates. The Board has clarified that a late fee will be applied to all applications submitted during this extended period. Schools should ensure all details are accurate and submitted within the given timeframe to avoid any issues for students.
Earlier Opportunity for Corrections
Before this late registration window, in September, the WBBSE had provided an opportunity for students to verify their registration details. This earlier window allowed students to check the information recorded in the system and request corrections. Key fields like a student's name, date of birth, and subject choices could be corrected at that time. This was an important step to ensure all details were correct before the final data for the exams was locked.
Madhyamik Pariksha 2026 Examination Schedule
The Madhyamik Pariksha 2026 , which is the Class 10 board examination, is scheduled to run for ten days. The exams will start on Monday, February 2, 2026 , and conclude on Thursday, February 12, 2026 . Students must remember the exam timings, which are consistent for all subjects: 10:45 AM to 2:00 PM daily . This includes a 15-minute period for reading the question paper. Students are advised to be at their exam centres well before the start time. Schools will provide specific subject-wise timetables, and students should follow these instructions closely.
Important Advice for Students and Schools
Students who still need to register for the Madhyamik Pariksha 2026 must contact their respective schools immediately. It is crucial to gather all required documents and information without delay. Schools, in turn, must promptly collate all student data and ensure accurate submission on the WBBSE portal before the December 29, 2025 deadline. Missing this final window could mean students are unable to appear for the 2026 board exams. Both students and schools play a vital role in ensuring a smooth and timely registration process for this important examination.
