Schools under the Dehradun Regional Office have a fresh date to mark. The regional round of the CBSE Skill Expo and Guidance Festival 2026-27, first fixed for Bareilly on 22 August 2026, will now be held on 29 August 2026. The board has pushed the date by a week, citing administrative reasons.
The change matters most for schools that were planning to send entries. With the event moving to the later date, the deadlines around it have shifted too.
What changed in the CBSE Skill Expo and Guidance Festival 2026-27
The regional event for the Dehradun RO jurisdiction was earlier listed for 22 August 2026 at Bareilly. It now stands rescheduled to 29 August 2026. Everything else about the round stays the same; only the timeline has moved.
Here are the revised dates schools need to track:
| Item | Revised date |
|---|---|
| Regional event at Bareilly | 29 August 2026 |
| Last date to submit entries for the Skill Expo | 24 August 2026 |
| Intimation to selected schools | by 25 August 2026 |
Who this affects
The notice speaks to schools falling under the Dehradun Regional Office jurisdiction. If your school intends to take part in the Skill Expo, entries must reach the board by 24 August 2026. Schools chosen to participate will hear back by 25 August 2026, ahead of the event day.
The CBSE Skill Expo and Guidance Festival is a board-run platform where students display skill-based projects and get exposure to career and vocational guidance. The regional events feed into the wider festival, and each Regional Office runs its own round for the schools mapped to it.
For Dehradun RO schools, the action list is short. Get entries in by 24 August 2026. Watch for the selection intimation on 25 August 2026. Then prepare for the Bareilly event on 29 August 2026.
Schools are advised to keep an eye on the CBSE Academic website for any further update tied to this round.
