The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the Class 10 results for 2026, along with key guidelines for students who wish to appear in the second board examination under the newly introduced two-exam policy.

As per the updated system aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, students now have an opportunity to improve their performance in selected subjects through a second exam scheduled later in the same academic year.

Who is eligible for second board exam

CBSE has laid down specific conditions for students to appear in the second board examination:

• It is mandatory for students to appear in the first board exam
• Students must have appeared in at least three subjects in the main exam
• Those who have passed can opt for improvement in up to three subjects
• Students in the compartment category are also eligible to appear
• Improvement is allowed only in subjects already taken in the first exam

The second exam allows students to improve marks in subjects such as Science, Mathematics, Social Science, and languages.

Who is not eligible

Certain categories of students will not be allowed to appear in the second board exam:

• Students who did not appear in three or more subjects
• Those who failed in three or more subjects
• Students placed in specific non-eligible categories by the board

Such students will have to reappear in the next main examination cycle instead.

Important rules students must note

CBSE has also clarified several important rules:

• Change of subjects is not permitted in the second exam
• No corrections in student data will be allowed
• Schools will submit the list of candidates for the second exam
• Students can improve performance in a maximum of three subjects

The board aims to reduce exam pressure and give students flexibility to improve scores within the same academic year.
