The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Sunday postponed the class 10 and 12 board exams scheduled for March 2 in the Middle East region amid the Iran-Israel conflict, according to official sources.

“Due to current situation in parts of Middle East—Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE, the board has decided to postpone class 10, 12 exams on March 2,” said CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj.

The new dates will be announced later, Bhardwaj added.

“The board will review the situation on March 3 and take appropriate decisions with regard to examination scheduled from March 5 onwards,” he added.

“P C Mahalanobis founded ISI on the belief that rigorous statistical thinking could help govern India better. Once genuinely world-class, the institute today risks being sidelined in the AI era—not for lack of talent, but because decades of governance structures have made change difficult. While dedicated researchers, alumni and students remain its strength, a system that has ‘quietly calcified’ has constrained growth. The Draft ISI Bill 2026 seeks to address this by modernising governance, empowering regional centres, and enabling ISI to reclaim its place at the forefront of statistics, AI and data science.”

"The controversy over insensitive remarks about cadavers is not just about individual behaviour but about whether medical education has lost sight of empathy. The dissection hall should teach medicine’s first and most important lesson—not anatomy, but dignity. Every cadaver was once a person with dreams, relationships and fears, and recognising that humanity is what creates empathy. In an age where social media rewards provocation, respect and compassion must remain non-negotiable. If this episode prompts medical education to become more humane towards both the living and the dead, it will honour the sacrifice of our first teachers—our cadavers."
