Here’s what’s changing for Class 10 based on CBSE’s new guidelines:
1. From 2026, CBSE will hold two board exams every year for Class 10. The first board exam, or main exam, will be held in February and is mandatory to attempt. The second exam or improvement exam, around May, is optional; students can take it to try for a better score.
2.Both exams will cover the entire syllabus. There’s no shortcut or reduced version. If a student sits for both, the higher score from the two attempts counts. 3. Students need at least 75% attendance across Classes 9 and 10 to be eligible for the CBSE 2026 exam. 4. Internal assessments and school-based evaluations will play a bigger role in final results. These are the major changes. Students will get a second chance in the same year for the class 10 CBSE board exam, which takes some pressure off and feels a lot fairer. But it also means kids need to stay on track all year, no more cramming at the last minute. Click Like button, if you find it useful
