Big news for Class 10 students! The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to introduce a biannual board exam system starting in 2026. This change is aimed at reducing stress and giving students more flexibility in improving their scores. 🎯📖
What’s Changing? 📝
- Two Exam Sessions Per Year: The board exams will now be held twice—once in February-March and again in May. Students can choose to take both or just one. ✅🔄
- Full Syllabus in Both Exams: Unlike semester-based exams, each session will cover the complete syllabus, ensuring thorough assessment. 📚🔍
- One Practical/Internal Assessment: Even though there are two theory exams, practical and internal assessments will happen only once per year. 🔬🎓
- Best Score Counts: If a student takes both exams, the higher score will be considered for the final mark sheet. 📊🏆
- Revised Fee Structure: CBSE will adjust the exam fees accordingly, with more details to be shared during registrations. 💰📄
- International Curriculum Update: A specialized global curriculum is also in the works for CBSE-affiliated international schools, aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. 🌍📖
Why This Matters 🧐
This new system is expected to ease the pressure of one high-stakes exam while giving students another shot at improving their performance. Parents and students should start planning early to adapt to this new format. 💡📆
CBSE has invited feedback on the proposal until March 9, 2025, before finalizing the details. Stay updated and be prepared for a new way of learning! 🚀📢
