Alleviating the anxiety of lakhs of examinees and their guardians across the state, the Board has clarified when, how, and from where these cards can be collected.

Schedule for Admit Card Distribution

According to the Board’s guidelines, the process of distributing admit cards is set to begin towards the end of this month. January 20, 2026, has been fixed as the date for distribution. On this day, the Board’s designated Camp Offices will remain open from 11 AM to 5 PM. The relevant tasks must be completed within this timeframe. This marks a part of the final stage of preparation for the examinees, making the date extremely important to remember.

Duties and Responsibilities of School Authorities

At this stage, the role of schools is paramount. The Board has informed the Headmasters or Headmistresses of all recognized Secondary and Higher Secondary schools that they, or their authorized representatives, must be present at the specific Camp Offices. They are required to collect the admit cards for the examinees from there. This ensures that every document reaches the right hands and that the cards are brought to the schools without any administrative complications.

Urgent Advice for Examinees

Often, it is observed that students crowd the schools on the very day the Board announces the distribution of cards. However, this time, the Board and experienced educators have advised students to exercise some patience.

• No Crowding on the 20th: After bringing the cards from the Camp Office to the school, they need to be sorted and verified. This is a time-consuming process.
• Contact with School: Therefore, instead of rushing to the school on January 20, the day of collection, students are advised to visit a day or two later.
• Right Time: The school authorities will hand over the cards to the students only when they are fully prepared for distribution. It is advisable to keep in touch with the school notice board or teachers regarding this matter.

How to Correct Errors in Admit Cards

Sometimes, inadvertent errors regarding names, dates of birth, or subject spellings may appear on the admit card. The Board is prepared to resolve such issues as well. Specific guidelines or instructions for error correction will be provided at the time of collecting the cards from the Camp Office. If any discrepancy is found in an examinee’s card, the school authorities must arrange for quick correction following those guidelines. Therefore, it is mandatory for examinees to thoroughly check every detail immediately after receiving the card.

This notification is a major step towards the smooth conduct of the Madhyamik Examination 2026. Examinees should now keep their main focus on their studies and follow the administrative matters as directed by their schools.
