What’s New This Year — CBSE’s Twice-a-Year Board Exam Scheme

Academic Session 2025–26 is the first year CBSE has implemented the Class 10 board exam twice a year, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Phase 1 was compulsory for all Class 10 students, while Phase 2 (also called the Second Board Exam) was optional — designed specifically to give students a chance to improve their Phase 1 scores or to appear if they had failed/were absent in Phase 1. For any subject, a student’s best score between Phase 1 and Phase 2 is typically considered for the final result, subject to CBSE’s official policy on result computation.
