CBSE Board Exam – Commencement and Application of the System
While the system was announced in October 2023 by Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, the implementation is scheduled for the 2025 board exams for Class X and XII. This transformative approach aims to alleviate stress for students by offering multiple opportunities. The new system, however, will not be compulsory, allowing students to opt for the traditional single-exam format if they prefer.
Flexibility for Students
The primary objective behind the biannual board exams is to provide flexibility to students. If a candidate feels adequately prepared and content with their score in the first set of exams, they can choose not to appear for the subsequent exam. This flexibility aims to reduce the pressure associated with a single chance for assessment.
