The Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE) has postponed Class 12th exams for Music and Anthropology in the West Garo Hills district. The exams were scheduled for March 11 and March 12, 2026. This decision follows clashes between tribal and non-tribal groups. The violence erupted due to the nomination process for local council polls. Authorities imposed a curfew to control the situation.
