CBSE Class 10 students can now take board exams twice in a year, with the better score counting. Most coverage is written for students. This toolkit is for schools: how to plan the calendar, use exam one as a diagnostic, and focus support before exam two.
As publicly reported, the first sitting falls in February to March and the second in May to June, and a student’s better score counts. Always follow CBSE’s latest circulars for exact dates, eligibility and procedure.
For schools, the shift is practical: the academic calendar, internal assessment records, revision support and parent communication now have to work across two windows.
