CBSE Board Exams 2025-26: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has announced that beginning with the academic year 2025-26, students would be able to take 10th and 12th grade board exams twice a year.
One of the goals of the new National Education Policy (NEP), which will be announced in 2020, is to minimize academic stress on children, Pradhan stated on Monday after launching the PM SHRI (Prime Minister Schools for Rising India) initiative in Chhattisgarh, which would rehabilitate 211 schools in the state.
The event took place in Raipur’s Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Auditorium.
The minister emphasized the notion of implementing ten bag-free days in schools each year, as well as engaging children in art, culture, and sports, among other things.
Pradhan stated that students would be able to take the 10th and 12th grade board examinations twice beginning with the 2025-26 academic year, as part of the Centre’s NEP 2020 strategy.
According to the New Curriculum Framework (NCF), which was released by the Ministry of Education in August of last year, board exams would be held at least twice a year to ensure that students have enough time and opportunity to perform effectively. They will also have the choice to keep the top score.
