Maharaja Chhatrasal Bundelkhand University, Chhatarpur has released the official time table for B.A. 1st Year Examination 2025-26 under Old NEP for Supplementary 2nd Chance candidates in Regular and Private categories. The official update was published on 6 April 2026, and the BA timetable appears on the first page of the university PDF that also includes related first-year schedules for B.Sc., B.Sc. Home Science, B.Com and B.B.A.
Although the session title in the document is marked as Mar-2026, the actual BA 1st Year examination dates run from 25 April 2026 to 12 May 2026. The schedule lists Foundation Course-I, Foundation Course-II, Major-I, Major-II, Minor, Elective and Vocational papers for different subject groups.
Students should also read the note section carefully instead of relying only on the timetable header. The header shows the general exam time as 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, but the official note clarifies that foundation-course papers and vocational papers are 2-hour examinations to be held from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM through OMR for the base-course papers. The university has also stated that the timetable is provisional and can be changed if needed.

The official note says the base or foundation-course examinations will be conducted through OMR sheet and will be of 2 hours duration from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. It also states that vocational papers will be of 2 hours duration and will run from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
