The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an important notice for the upcoming 10th board examinations of 2026. In this notice, the complete pattern of marks of theory, practical, project and internal assessment i.e. IA for different subjects has been clearly explained. This notice is very useful for the students studying in the new session, because now it has become clear how 100 marks will be divided in which subject and how much attention is required on which part.
According to CBSE, every year many schools make mistakes while uploading the marks of practical, project or internal assessment. Due to these mistakes of the schools, the final marksheet of the students gets affected and later the schools request for correction. This time, the board has issued clear rules from the very beginning and warned that schools should avoid any kind of mistake, because they will not get a chance to improve later.
The board has said that schools should read this notice carefully and strictly follow all the instructions. Besides, a list of each subject has also been released in which information about different marks of theory, practical, project and internal assessment has been given.
Marks Distribution: Complete calculation of 100 marks
According to the notice, 100 marks of all subjects have been divided into four parts. Theory, Practical, Project and Internal Assessment. The weightage of the four sections in each subject is different, and it is these details that the board has specially highlighted this time so that students can prepare accordingly.
This information is also important for the students because if the weightage of practical is more in any subject then the method of preparation also changes. At the same time, the importance of marks based on map work, lab work, models, oral examination and activities also increases.
CBSE warning
The board has clearly said that many schools hurry or ignore while uploading the marks, due to which mistakes are made. This time the board has already issued instructions that schools should avoid any kind of mistake, because no option will be given to improve marks later.
The board also says that whether an external examiner will be appointed for each subject or not is also mentioned in this list. Practicals of some subjects will be in the answer sheets given by the board, while in some the schools will use their own copies.
Why is this notice important for students?
Many times students focus only on theory and take the internal assessment marks lightly. Whereas in many subjects IA has 20 to 30 marks, which has a great impact on the final result. Apart from this, project work and practical are also an important part of the total marks.
If students know in advance how much weightage is given to which subject, then they can balance their preparation and plan for good marks throughout the year.
New syllabus and sample paper have also been released.
Along with the distribution of marks, CBSE has also released the complete syllabus for the year 2025–26. This syllabus is the basis for complete preparation for 10th board exam. Sample papers issued by the board are also now available, in which not only the level of questions but also the marking scheme is given. Students can estimate their preparation by solving these model papers. Both syllabus and sample papers are very important in this session, because on the basis of these the questions of the board exam will be prepared.
