CBSE 2026 – Two Exams for Class 10

CBSE 2026 brings big changes! Class 10 board exams will be held twice a year, giving students a chance to improve scores without losing an academic year.

Attendance & Course Rules

Attendance matters! Students must have 75% attendance to appear. Plus, Class 9–10 & 11–12 will be treated as a two-year continuous course.

Improvement in 3 Subjects

In the May exam, students can reappear in up to 3 subjects. But subject changes won’t be allowed between the two attempts.

Internal Assessments & Syllabus

Internal assessments stay once per session, even with two exams. Both February & May exams will cover the full syllabus with no shortcuts.

Why These Changes Matter

The 2026 CBSE changes reduce stress, add flexibility, and ensure fairness. Students must plan early, maintain attendance, and be exam-ready twice a year.
