The CBSE's proposal to introduce two board exams for Class 10 has sparked discussions among students, parents, and educators.

In Short

  • CBSE proposes two board exams for Class 10 from 2026 onwards
  • Stakeholders can submit feedback on the proposal until March 9, 2025
  • Students can appear for one or both exams to improve their scores

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has proposed a new pattern for Class 10 board exams. Under CBSE's draft proposal, students will be given the choice of appearing for two exams in a year from the 2026 academic year. The draft proposal may be sent for feedback by March 9.

The proposal is to provide flexibility to the students and reduce examination stress. Here are the key highlights about the CBSE draft proposal on bi-annual board exams:

  • Exam schedule: Board exams of Classes 10 and 12 will commence on the first Tuesday after February 15 annually.

  • Choice of exams: The students can take either or both exams, and the highest mark will be considered. The two proposed exams will be conducted on the full current syllabus.

  • Syllabus and topics: Both exams will be on the entire syllabus. Core subjects like Science, Maths, and English will be conducted on specific days. Regional languages and foreign languages will be conducted together in a single sitting.

  • Examination centres: The same examination centres will be used for both attempts. No self-centres will be allowed.

  • Teacher and school responsibilities: Schools will be screened before they are assigned as exam centres, and teacher workload will be managed accordingly.

  • Results and marking: The initial exam marks will be available on DigiLocker, but these will not be the passing documents. A combined mark sheet with the second exam marks, internal assessments, and the best of the two will be given after the second exam. Practical assessment will be done only once.

  • Retake and improvement opportunities: Candidates who fail between one and five subjects in the initial exam can take them again in the second sitting. Examination 1 and 2 will be considered as supplementary examinations.

The draft proposals present major reforms to the CBSE Class 10 board exam system. These will provide students with greater flexibility and scope to excel. Individuals such as teachers, parents, and policymakers can view and provide their comments and suggestions until March 9, 2025, before the policy is rolled out.
