CBSE has decided to make a big change in the 10th class board examination system, which will now give students an additional opportunity to improve studies and get better marks. Under this new arrangement starting from 2026, there will be tenth board examinations twice a year.
Board exam twice a year
The first exam will be held every year in mid -February, which will be mandatory for all students. Students who pass this exam, if they want, can improve their marks in the second examination to be held in May. In this second exam, they can sit in maximum three subjects of subjects like science, mathematics, social science and language.
Who will not get a chance?
If a student fails in three or more subjects in the first examination, then he will not get a chance to sit in the second exam. Such students will be put in the “necessary recurrence” category, that is, they will have to take the exam again next year. However, the students whose result falls in the “compartment” category can give the paper for the second time under the compartment examination.
Special provisions will also be applicable
CBSE has also ensured that students participating in sports, students studying in winter and children with special needs also get equal opportunities and flexibility. For this, there will be internal assessment once before the main examination. The special thing is that the syllabus of both the first and second examinations will be based on the course of the whole year, so that students do not face any kind of inequality.
Forward procedure
The results of the first examination will be announced in April, while the result of the second examination will come in June. Students can take temporary admission in 11th grade based on the marks of their first exam, but the final admission will be confirmed only after the results of the second examination. Apart from this, the qualification certificate will also be given only after the second examination.
Why changed?
CBSE believes that this “two-examination system” will give students more flexibility, maintain the continuity of learning and reduce the stress caused by the same big examination at the end of the year. This change is in line with the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) guidelines and will help in the overall development of students
