Baccalaureate 2026: Students take Math or History exam Wednesday, one day after original schedule

High school students across Romania are set to face a crucial test on Wednesday, June 30, 2026, as they take the mandatory Baccalaureate exam in either Mathematics or History. This exam, a requirement for graduation, was rescheduled from its original date due to the prevailing extreme heatwave, a decision aimed at ensuring the well-being of the candidates.

Students are expected to arrive at their designated examination centers by 8:30 AM, with the test commencing promptly at 9:00 AM. Essential items include a valid identification document, such as an ID card or passport, and approved writing instruments. Only blue ink pens, pencils, erasers, and transparent rulers are permitted, and all written work must be completed in blue ink. The examination authorities have emphasized that any deviation from these rules could lead to disqualification.

Strict regulations are in place to maintain the integrity of the examination process. Mobile phones, headphones, smart devices, and any other electronic gadgets are strictly forbidden within the exam halls. Similarly, students must leave personal belongings like backpacks and bags in designated storage areas; refusal to do so will result in exclusion from the exam. Unauthorized materials such as notes, cheat sheets, or dictionaries are also prohibited, as is any form of communication or information exchange between candidates.

Violating these rules constitutes an attempt at fraud, carrying severe consequences. Students caught with prohibited items, even if unused, will be eliminated from the exam. Furthermore, any previously obtained passing grades, including those from skills-based assessments, will be invalidated. Such candidates will also be barred from participating in the next two Baccalaureate sessions, with the exception of a special session. All exam rooms are monitored via audio and video surveillance to ensure compliance.
