In a paradigm shift, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has stated that Class 10 board exams will henceforth be conducted twice in a year from the year 2026 onward. The very purpose of this is to ease exam pressure, enhance learning outcomes, and give students one more chance to improve upon their already existing scores.
Reason for Cultivating Two Exams a Year by CBSE
- Less Stress, More Learning- Students won’t have to depend on a single exam to make the cut for their future.
- Second Chance for Students- If a student falls sick or misses an exam, he or she can appear again without the entire year hanging on their head.
- More Conceptual Understanding- This change will motivate students to understand concepts rather than resorting to rote learning.
CBSE Draft Report Coming in Very Soon
A detailed draft for the new biannual exam system will soon be published by CBSE. The board will accept feedback from students, parents, and educators before finalizing the policy.
When Will The Two-Exam Rule Start?
The two-exam scheme is applicable from the 2026 academic session.
Students appearing for the 2026 Class 10 board exams will thus be the first beneficiaries of this rule.
