As the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) gears up to launch its two-exam model for Class 10 in 2026, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, students, parents, and schools have voiced concerns over the exam structure, eligibility criteria, flexibility, and assessment process. CBSE Controller of Examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj addresses these common queries: CBSE will hold two board exams for Class 10 in 2026—the first from February 17 to March 9, and the second from May 15 to June 1, with both following the identical syllabus.
