CBSE Class 10 Two Board Exams 2027: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to conduct two board examinations for Class 10 in the 2027 examination cycle. The CBSE introduced the two board examination policy from the 2026 exam session, as notified on June 25, 2025. As per the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Class 10 students will be given an opportunity to improve their performance in up to three subjects during the second board examination.
It is mandatory for all students to appear in the first board examination, according to the official guidelines.
In last year’s official circular, the board prescribed certain conditions for students to appear in the second board exam.
CBSE Class 10: For students whose result in the first examination is ‘Compartment’, such students will be allowed to appear in the second exam under the ‘Compartment’ category.
For students whose result in the first examination is ‘Compartment’, such students will be allowed to appear in the second exam under the ‘Compartment’ category. If a student has not appeared in three or more subjects in the first examination, then he/she will not be eligible to appear in the second examination. Such students will only be allowed to appear in the main examination next year.
For the last examination cycle, students appearing for the second board exam had to pay an examination fee of Rs 320 per subject, that is, Rs 960 for three subjects per candidate.
