Haryana Open School 12th October 2026 Exams: Schedule, Guidelines and Important Updates

The Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) is currently in the midst of conducting the Haryana Open School (HOS) 12th grade examinations for the October 2026 session. These examinations, which commenced on October 1, serve as a vital opportunity for students appearing for re-appear, CTP, OCTP, compartment, improvement, and additional subject categories. The testing period is set to continue until the final paper on October 22.

As the examination process progresses, students are advised to remain focused on the upcoming core subject papers. Key subjects scheduled for the coming days include Physics on October 12, Chemistry on October 13, and Mathematics on October 15. Most examinations are held in the afternoon session, typically running from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, though some specific papers are scheduled to conclude at 4:30 PM.

Essential Exam Day Protocols and Documentation

To ensure a smooth examination experience, the Board of School Education Haryana has mandated strict adherence to specific guidelines. All candidates are required to carry a colour printout of their admit card, which was made available on the official website, bseh.org.in, starting September 22. This document must be printed on A4 size paper. Additionally, students must present their original Aadhaar card at the examination centre for identity verification purposes.

The board has emphasised that mobile phones and calculators are strictly prohibited within the examination hall. Candidates are permitted to bring their own log tables and pencils for map-related work. For differently-abled students, the board provides an additional 20 minutes for every hour of the exam. Those requiring a scribe must have their disability certificate verified by the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) or present a UDID card, with arrangements for a writer typically coordinated through the exam centre.

Support and Contact Information

The board maintains a firm stance against malpractice, noting that impersonation is a criminal offence that may result in the filing of an FIR. Students who require assistance or clarification regarding the examination process can reach out to the board through official channels. Support is available via a dedicated WhatsApp line at 8816840349 or through the board’s helpline numbers at 01664-244171 to 244176, specifically requesting the HOS Branch (extension 387) or the Senior Secondary Branch (extension 296).

As the session moves toward its conclusion on October 22, candidates should continue to monitor the official board website for any further updates or notices. Ensuring that all documentation is prepared in advance and arriving at the examination centre at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time remains the best approach for a successful examination day.
