As per recent reports, students beginning their class 10 and 12 education from the 2024-25 academic year will be the first batch on the central board to get an opportunity to appear for multiple board exams. According to reports, the Central Board of Secondary Education will be conducting the first-ever multiple board exams in 2025. The information regarding the same was provided by senior officials at the Ministry of Education.
In an interview conducted in 2023, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stated that the examination format of conducting exams twice a year will commence from 2024-25. This implies that the format will be implemented in the board exams for class 10 and 12 students in 2025.
According to authorities, the recently implemented biannual examination system for students in grades 10 and 12 will not be obligatory. The introduction of this multiple board exam system aims to alleviate the pressure on students who are anxious about the possibility of missing out on a single chance. If a candidate feels adequately prepared and content with their performance in one of the exam sessions, they have the option to abstain from appearing in the second examination.
Approximately 38.2 lakh students took part in the class 10 and class 12 board exams of CBSE in 2023. As per the Education Ministry officials, the first board exam of 2025 is anticipated to take place in November-December 2024, followed by the second exam in February-March 2025. The final result and merit list will be determined based on the scores obtained in the best two exams.
