NMC Eyes CBSE Shift, Yet Students Still Barefoot Thousands of students in Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) schools continue to attend classes barefoot despite the academic session having begun, as the civic body delays providing footwear and socks. The issue has sparked concerns about the quality of education in civic-run schools, even as the NMC pushes forward with plans to modernize its educational infrastructure. At a recent special meeting of the education committee, NMC chairperson Santosh Laddha directed officials to submit a proposal to the state government for shifting NMC schools to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum. The committee also approved plans to establish two English-medium schools in every Assembly constituency, upgrade 21 semi-English schools into smart schools equipped with modern laboratories and computer facilities, and launch special coaching classes for Class X students with NGO support. However, the procurement of basic necessities like shoes and socks for students remains unresolved. Under the state’s scheme, each student is entitled to one pair of shoes and two pairs of socks, with 170 sanctioned per student. NMC has 11,924 students across 113 primary schools and 28 high schools and junior colleges, requiring nearly 21 lakh rupees to procure footwear. Despite assurances from the education department that uniforms and textbooks reached students before the session started, the procurement of shoes and socks has stalled due to delayed fund releases. The delay has raised questions about the prioritization of resources in civic-run schools, particularly in Nagpur, the hometown of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union minister Nitin Gadkari.#nitin_gadkari #devendra_fadnavis #central_board_of_secondary_education #nagpur_municipal_corporation #santosh_laddha

CBSE Eases 3-Language Policy, Exempts Current Class 10 Batch Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Monday announced a relaxation of its three-language policy under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, exempting the current Class 10 batch and sparing Classes 7, 8, and 9 from board examinations in the third language. This one-time adjustment formalized an assurance provided by Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan in an interview to The Times of India last week. The policy change, outlined in a June 29 circular, specifies that students in Class 10 during the 2026-27 academic year will continue with the existing two-language system. For Class 9 students in 2026-27, they must study three languages, with at least two being “Bhartiya Bhashas” (Indian languages). The third language will be assessed solely through internal school-based examinations, with no CBSE board examination for this batch when they reach Class 10 in 2027-28. A one-off relief was granted to students currently in Classes 7, 8, and 9 who have already opted for two foreign languages. These students are allowed to continue with their existing language combination and must add one Indian language as the third. The assessment of the third language for these batches will remain school-based, with no board examination. The full three-language mandate with board examinations will apply from Class 6 (2026-27) onwards. When this batch reaches Class 10, they will sit for the board exam in the third language as well. The relaxation followed a May circular mandating the three-language policy for Class 9 starting July 1. A public interest litigation (PIL) was filed in the Supreme Court challenging the circular, prompting the apex court to issue notices to the central government, CBSE, and NCERT.#times_of_india #supreme_court #central_board_of_secondary_education #national_education_policy #dharmendra_pradhan

CBSE Class 10 Second Board Results 2026 Expected Soon The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the results for the second board exams of Class 10 students in 2026, marking the first implementation of the board’s two-phase examination system under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The results are anticipated to be announced in mid-to-late June, though the exact date has not been officially confirmed. This system aims to reduce academic stress by allowing students to retake up to three subjects within the same academic year to improve their scores. Approximately 6.7 to 6.8 lakh students participated in the improvement or compartment exams, which were conducted from May 15 to 21, 2026. The new policy enables students to reattempt subjects to enhance their grades without waiting for the next academic cycle, particularly benefiting those in the "compartment" category who previously had to wait an entire year for a reattempt. Science and Mathematics emerged as the most retaken subjects, followed by Social Science, while fewer students opted for subjects like AI, Tourism, Music, or Painting. Around 85,000 students were in the compartment category, while over 5.25 lakh aimed to improve their marks through the second exam. The results will be made available through multiple platforms, including the official CBSE websites (cbse.gov.in, cbseresults.nic.in, cbse.nic.in), DigiLocker, UMANG, and via SMS and IVRS. Students are advised to keep their roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth handy for quick access to their results. Provisional scorecards will be downloadable online immediately after the results are released, while original certificates will be issued later by their respective schools.#central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #national_education_policy #nepr2020 #compartment_category

Central Board of Secondary Education Introduces Second Board Exam for Class 10 Students The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced plans to implement a second board examination for Class 10 students beginning with the 2026-27 academic session. This initiative aims to provide students with an additional opportunity to improve their scores within the same academic year, reducing the pressure associated with a single exam attempt. Under the revised policy, students will be allowed two examination attempts, with the first scheduled for February and the second to be held later in the year. The policy change is designed to address the challenges students face when performing poorly in their initial exams due to factors such as illness, stress, or unforeseen circumstances. By offering a second chance, the CBSE hopes to mitigate the academic and emotional burden on students while ensuring they have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge. The board emphasized that this reform aligns with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which advocates for a more flexible and student-centric education system. For students who fail to meet the passing criteria in both exams, the consequences are clear. According to the proposed guidelines, those who do not clear the second examination will be deemed unsuccessful for the academic year. Such students will need to reappear for the board exams in the subsequent academic cycle. The final result will be determined based on the best performance from the two attempts, ensuring that students are not penalized for a single poor performance. The CBSE has also outlined that the new system will require students to stay updated with the latest rules and regulations.#class_10_students #central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #national_education_policy #academic_year

Senior Congress Leader Urges PM Modi to Halt CBSE's Three-Language Policy Implementation Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, raising concerns about the abrupt enforcement of the three-language policy for Class IX students by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) during the current mid-session. Singh, who chairs the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, Women, Children, Youth and Sports, has urged Modi to suspend the policy’s implementation, citing potential disruptions due to insufficient preparation. Singh highlighted that the CBSE’s sudden imposition of the policy mid-session, without adequate teacher training, textbooks, or transition time, risks creating chaos akin to the turmoil caused by the earlier rollout of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. He emphasized that the policy’s enforcement would disproportionately affect students in Southern and North-Eastern states, where Hindi is not widely spoken and local tribal languages may not be included in the CBSE’s recognized language list. In his letter dated June 5, Singh referenced a representation from parents of CBSE Class IX students opposing the policy’s mandatory implementation. He noted that the CBSE’s governing body had previously approved a decision in December 2025 to continue with the existing Scheme of Studies for languages until graded textbooks from the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) were released. Despite this, the CBSE issued a circular on May 15, 2026, mandating the introduction of third-language instruction in Grade IX starting July 1, 2026.#central_bureau_of_investigation #central_board_of_secondary_education #national_testing_agency #prime_minister_narendra_modhi #digvijaya_singh

CBSE Addresses Security Vulnerability in Evaluation Portal The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has acknowledged a technical vulnerability in its digital evaluation portal, stating it is working to resolve the issue. The board confirmed it is monitoring the problem with its service provider, which manages the portal used to distribute scanned answer sheets to students. While CBSE did not specify the exact nature of the vulnerability, the announcement came after a user on the social media platform X claimed to have discovered a security flaw. The user, identified as a software engineer, shared screenshots alleging that the board stored scanned answer sheets and question papers for the 2026 board examinations on an unsecured Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud storage bucket. According to the user, the lack of password protection allowed anyone to access and download the documents. The controversy gained further attention when former Union minister Jairam Ramesh posted on X, calling the situation a breach of privacy affecting 2 million students. Ramesh alleged that CBSE had manipulated the technical specifications in the request for proposal (RFP) for the digital evaluation project to favor COEMPT, the company contracted to handle the task. He also pointed out inconsistencies in the leaked answer sheets, such as folds and drop shadows, which he argued indicated the documents were scanned using mobile phones rather than dedicated scanning equipment. Ramesh further claimed that the third RFP omitted a requirement for robotic scanners, which could have improved the accuracy of the process. CBSE responded by thanking individuals and ethical hackers who brought the issue to light, stating that a team of cybersecurity experts had been deployed to address the vulnerabilities.#central_board_of_secondary_education #amazon_web_services #jairam_ramesh #coempt #onmark

Congress Condemns Massive Data Breach of CBSE Grade 12 Answer Sheets The Congress party on Sunday (May 31, 2026) condemned the exposure of answer sheets for two million CBSE Grade 12 students, calling it a “data breach of monumental proportions” that jeopardizes student privacy. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and its contracted vendor, COEMPT, of systemic incompetence and negligence, highlighting the scandal as a reflection of the ministry’s failures. Ramesh criticized the CBSE’s handling of the Class 12 Board exams, emphasizing that the leaked answer sheets—now publicly accessible—expose a critical lapse in data security. He pointed to the poor quality of the scans, noting that the documents bore “folds and drop shadows,” characteristics typically associated with mobile phone scans rather than professional scanning equipment. This, he argued, raises questions about the scanners COEMPT used, especially since the third Request for Proposal (RFP) had originally specified robotic scanners. The Congress leader also cited a post on X, where he linked to an AWS bucket misconfiguration, allowing unauthorized access to media files containing 2026 answer sheets and question papers. “We can paginate and enumerate all their media,” he wrote, underscoring the scale of the breach. Ramesh accused the CBSE of failing to secure its digital infrastructure, which he claimed was exacerbated by the ministry’s decision to alter technical specifications in the RFP, likely to benefit COEMPT. The scandal has intensified political pressure on Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The Congress reiterated its demand for his resignation and a full investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the “emerging scandal.#central_board_of_secondary_education #congress_party #jairam_ramesh #dharmendra_pradhan #coempt

CBSE Exam Controversy Sparks Political Pressure as Minister Takes Responsibility The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) faced widespread allegations of malpractice following the implementation of its digital marking system, Online Screening Marking (OSM), for the 12th-grade board exams. Students and parents raised concerns that the transition to OSM led to a decline in scores and inconsistencies in answer sheets, sparking public outcry. Opposition parties, including the Congress, intensified pressure on the central government to address the issue, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. In response to the controversy, Pradhan publicly took responsibility for the situation, stating that the CBSE’s handling of the exams fell under the government’s policy framework. He assured stakeholders that any misconduct would be investigated thoroughly, emphasizing that no one would escape accountability. However, the minister also criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his opposition to digital initiatives, accusing him of undermining India’s progress in technology and education. Pradhan highlighted that the controversy had caused significant stress among students and examiners, urging all parties to avoid further agitation. He reiterated his commitment to resolving the issue promptly, stressing that the focus should remain on addressing the concerns of students rather than political debates. The minister’s remarks came amid growing scrutiny of the CBSE’s digital transformation, which critics argue has disrupted traditional evaluation methods and raised questions about transparency. The incident has intensified debates about the reliability of digital marking systems in high-stakes exams.#congress #central_board_of_secondary_education #dharmendra_pradhan #online_screening_marking #cbse_exam_controversy

Central Education Minister Advocates for Indian Languages in Schools, Emphasizes Need for Innovators Over Translators Central Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan addressed the "Jagran Bharat Education Summit 2026" on Friday, defending the focus on Indian languages in the education system. He asserted that India needs "innovators, not translators," highlighting the importance of prioritizing native languages over foreign ones in classrooms. Pradhan argued that while learning foreign languages is valuable, it should not burden students. Instead, he emphasized that children should study in the language they understand best to grasp concepts effectively. The minister cited a review by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which revealed that only 1% of students across the board are studying foreign languages. Pradhan criticized the overemphasis on English and other global languages, stating that this approach risks neglecting the potential of Indian languages. He argued that India’s rapid growth in innovation, research, and manufacturing requires a shift toward nurturing creators and thinkers rather than relying on translators. Pradhan linked the push for Indian languages to India’s economic and technological progress. He noted that the country’s population has surged to 1.4 billion, and global southern nations are increasingly aligning with India. He stressed that India’s competitive edge lies in its capacity for innovation, cost-effective production, and research, which must be supported by a strong foundation in native languages. The minister also addressed criticism of the education system, calling for rational and relevant discourse in a democracy.#central_board_of_secondary_education #dharmendra_pradhan #central_education_minister #jagran_bharat_education_summit_2026 #indian_languages

Amid Concerns Over CBSE's OSM System, Education Ministry Defends it as 'Transparent', 'Used Internationally' The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) faced widespread criticism from students, parents, and educators over the new on-screen marking (OSM) system for evaluating Class 12 answer sheets, which led to unexpectedly low marks in key subjects. Despite over 85% of candidates clearing the exams, the overall pass rate dropped by more than 3 percentage points compared to the previous year, sparking debates about the impact of the digital evaluation process. The Union education ministry defended the OSM system as a step toward greater transparency and efficiency, emphasizing its international adoption and technical advancements. The CBSE Class 12 results were announced on May 13, prompting immediate backlash from students and parents who attributed the decline in scores to the OSM system. Critics argued that the shift from traditional paper-based marking to a digital process had introduced errors, particularly in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. At a press conference in Delhi on May 17, Union Secretary of School Education Sanjay Kumar and CBSE chairman Rahul Singh addressed the concerns, highlighting the system's benefits and its alignment with global standards. Kumar and Singh explained that OSM was designed to enhance transparency by allowing answer sheets to be evaluated remotely, bypassing geographical restrictions tied to regional offices. Kumar noted that the system was already in use by national universities, foreign institutions, and boards like the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge.#central_board_of_secondary_education #sanjay_kumar #international_baccalaureate #rahul_singh #union_education_ministry

CBSE's Revised Re-evaluation and Rechecking Fees for Class 12 Results 2026 The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced significant revisions to its re-evaluation and rechecking fees for the Class 12 examinations, aiming to make the post-result process more accessible and affordable for students and parents. The changes, effective for the 2026 academic year, include reduced fees for accessing scanned answer book copies, verifying marks, and re-evaluating answers. The board emphasized that these adjustments are part of its broader adoption of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, which was introduced for the Class XII examinations. Key revisions to the fees include a reduction in the verification of marks fee from Rs. 500 to Rs. 100. Additionally, the cost for accessing scanned copies of answer sheets has been lowered to Rs. 100, while the re-evaluation fee per question has been set at Rs. 25. CBSE also clarified that students whose marks increase after re-evaluation will receive a full refund of the re-evaluation fee, a policy designed to incentivize transparency and accuracy in the evaluation process. The updates were announced during a press briefing held on May 17, 2026, where CBSE officials addressed concerns raised by students and parents regarding the OSM system. Sanjay Kumar, Secretary of the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India, highlighted that the digital evaluation system adheres to a proper step marking process. He reiterated that any errors in the step marking of students' answers can be rectified through the re-checking and re-evaluation facilities provided by the board.#central_board_of_secondary_education #sanjay_kumar #on_screen_marking #rahul_singh #sanyam_bhardwaj

CBSE 12th Exam Results Show Drop in Math, Physics, Chemistry Scores Due to Strict Step Marking The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) 12th board exam results have revealed a decline in scores for mathematics, physics, and chemistry, with students attributing the drop to the implementation of strict step marking in the digital evaluation process. Teachers and examiners have pointed to the rigid adherence to the marking scheme, which requires students to write all steps of their solutions to receive full marks. Students who prepared for competitive exams like JEE Mains using shortcut methods faced significant challenges, as their answers were marked down despite being correct. The shift to on-screen marking (OSM) this year has led to a more stringent evaluation process, where each step in the solution is assessed individually. This contrasts with the previous system, where examiners had more flexibility in awarding marks based on the student’s understanding and the final answer. Experts highlight the disparity between competitive exams and board exams. While exams like JEE prioritize correct answers, board exams emphasize the presentation of the entire solution, including formulas, procedures, and intermediate steps. This difference has left many students unprepared, particularly those who relied on coaching-based preparation methods. The impact is most pronounced in science subjects, where students who excelled in JEE Mains struggled to meet the expected percentage in board exams. Schools and teachers have expressed concerns that the new evaluation system has created an imbalance, as students with clear concepts but incomplete step-by-step solutions are penalized.#central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #jee_mains #on_screen_marking #re_evaluation_process

CBSE Class 12 Result 2026: Passing Marks, Re-evaluation, and Compartment Exam Guidelines The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has outlined key rules for the Class 12 board exams for the 2026 academic year, including passing criteria, re-evaluation procedures, and guidelines for students requiring a second attempt through compartment exams. The board has emphasized that students must secure a minimum of 33 percent marks in each subject to pass, encompassing theory, practicals, and internal assessments. For subjects with practical components, students must pass both the theoretical and practical sections separately. The CBSE has also clarified that students who fail to meet the 33 percent threshold in one or more subjects will be placed in the "Compartment" category and will be eligible to appear for the supplementary examination in 2026. The supplementary exam, previously held on July 15 in 2025, will follow the CBSE Class 12 syllabus as prescribed on the board’s official website. Regular students in the Compartment category must apply through their respective schools, with school authorities submitting the list of candidates. Private candidates, on the other hand, can apply for the supplementary exams online. The board has introduced a streamlined process for re-evaluation and marks verification. Students who wish to challenge their results can opt for either verification of marks or re-evaluation of their answer sheets. A new system allows candidates to access scanned copies of their answer books for the desired subject, enabling them to identify potential errors and report them to the board. This initiative aims to ensure transparency and accuracy in the evaluation process.#central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #compartment_exam #re_evaluation #supplementary_exam

Board Exam Results 2026: Live Updates and Key Dates for State and National Exams The release of board exam results for 2026 is entering a critical phase, with multiple state and national education boards confirming dates for result declarations. Assam’s Higher Secondary Examination results are set for April 28, while Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 results are expected to be announced within April. The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has not yet confirmed its exact date but is anticipated to declare results by the end of the month. These announcements have sparked widespread anticipation among students, with preparations underway for accessing provisional marksheets online. Students are being advised to ensure they have their login credentials, hall ticket numbers, and roll details ready to access results promptly. For Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Assam, the process involves entering hall ticket numbers or roll details on official portals to retrieve subject-wise marks. The CISCE will require candidates to use a unique candidate ID and index number for result verification. Most boards are expected to first release provisional digital marksheets through their websites, followed by the distribution of original documents via schools. During high-traffic periods, SMS-based result access is also supported by some boards. The timing of these announcements has broader implications. Assam’s April 28 result date is seen as a potential trigger for other boards to follow suit, as many are still awaiting their release dates.#central_board_of_secondary_education #assam_higher_secondary_examination #telangana_higher_secondary_examination #andhra_pradesh_higher_secondary_examination

CBSE Introduces On-Screen Marking for Class 12 Board Exams Starting 2026 to Enhance Accuracy and Transparency The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the implementation of an on-screen marking (OSM) system for evaluating Class 12 board exam answer sheets beginning with the 2026 academic session. This digital initiative replaces traditional manual grading processes, aiming to improve the accuracy, speed, and transparency of result processing for millions of students. Under the new system, students will continue to write their exams on paper, but their answer books will be scanned and uploaded to a secure digital platform where authorized examiners will mark responses directly on-screen. The shift to digital evaluation is part of CBSE’s broader effort to modernize its assessment framework. Officials emphasized that the OSM system reduces logistical delays associated with transporting physical answer sheets to evaluation centers and minimizes common errors such as miscalculations during manual grading. Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj highlighted that the initiative aligns with the board’s goal of enhancing “efficiency and transparency” in the evaluation process. With nearly 46 lakh students appearing for CBSE exams globally each year, even minor improvements in accuracy and speed could significantly impact result timelines and student outcomes. The implementation of OSM requires schools to upgrade their infrastructure, including ensuring reliable internet connectivity and digital systems, while teachers must undergo training to adapt to the new platform.#central_board_of_secondary_education #national_education_policy #sanyam_bhardwaj #class_12_board_exams #logical_indian

CBSE 10th Students Can Improve Marks in 3 Subjects; May Exam Proposed The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced a policy allowing 10th-grade students to improve their scores in three subjects through an optional second examination in May. This initiative, part of the 2025-26 academic session, marks a significant shift from previous practices, as results for 10th and 12th grades will now be announced between 20 and 25 April instead of May. This change aims to expedite the admission process for higher education. Under the new policy, students who are dissatisfied with their first examination results can opt for a second exam, which will be held between 15 May and 1 June. The board will apply a "best of two" policy, ensuring students retain the higher score from either exam. However, the second examination will only cover theory papers, and practical assessments will remain unchanged, with internal evaluations conducted once annually in December-January. The policy applies specifically to students in the science, mathematics, social sciences, and languages subjects, allowing them to focus on improving marks in three of these areas. To qualify for the second exam, students must have appeared in all three subjects in the initial examination. Those who missed subjects in the first attempt will not be eligible for the second opportunity. Additionally, students from winter-bound schools in remote areas will be exempt from this rule. The decision follows a review of the previous year’s results, which showed a decline in 12th-grade scores compared to 2025. For instance, the arts stream saw a 0.24% drop, while science scores fell by 0.91%.#central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #10th_grade_students #science_subjects #mathematics_subjects

CBSE 10th, 12th Result 2026 Live: Expected on 14 April? Result Date, Website Link, Marksheet Download Guide The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is anticipated to release the results for Class 10th and 12th examinations in 2026, with speculation suggesting the outcome could be announced on 14 April. However, no official confirmation has been provided yet. The board has been conducting evaluation processes for the exams held between February and April 2026, and the final stages of grading are nearing completion. Students are advised to monitor official channels for updates on the result date. The CBSE typically announces results in May, following the evaluation cycle. While some media reports have mentioned the possibility of results being declared on 14 April, the board has not officially confirmed this timeline. Students are encouraged to stay updated through the official website, DigiLocker, and the UMANG app for result notifications. Once the results are declared, students can access their mark sheets via the CBSE’s official portal at cbse.gov.in and results.cbse.nic.in. The board has emphasized the use of digital mark sheets to ensure immediate access for students. Additionally, results can be retrieved through SMS services and the DigiLocker platform to manage server traffic and prevent system overload. For students who fail in one or two subjects, a compartment exam will be held in July, allowing them to retake the exams without affecting their academic year. The board has also opened a rechecking window for students to request a review of their answer sheets, with a specified fee for the process. The passing criteria for the exams remain consistent, requiring students to secure a minimum of 33% marks in each subject, combining theory and practical components.#umang_app #central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #digi_locker #cbse_website

CBSE 10th Class Passing Rules Tightened: Students Face Higher Barriers The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced significant changes to the minimum passing criteria for its 10th-grade public examinations, effective from the upcoming academic year. The revised rules aim to enhance students' learning capabilities by raising the threshold for passing, which has sparked discussions among educators and parents. Previously, students could secure a pass by scoring a minimum of 33 marks out of 100, calculated by combining marks from the written examination (80%) and internal assessment (20%). Under this system, a student who scored 13 marks in the written exam and 20 in internal assessment would have passed, as the total would have reached 33. However, critics argued that this low threshold did not adequately reflect students' true academic performance or learning abilities. The new policy mandates that students must score at least 26.4 marks in the written examination and 6.6 marks in internal assessment to pass. This means that if a student scores below these thresholds in either component, they will be deemed unsuccessful. For example, a student who scores 20 marks in the written exam and 15 in internal assessment will not meet the new criteria. The change is designed to ensure that students demonstrate a more substantial grasp of the subject matter before being declared pass. The decision to revise the passing criteria was driven by concerns over the previous system's leniency. Educators highlighted that the old rules allowed students to pass with minimal effort, which did not align with the board's goal of fostering academic rigor. The new rules are expected to encourage students to focus on comprehensive learning rather than relying on a combination of low scores.#central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #10th_class #written_examination #internal_assessment

CBSE Announces Class 10 and 12 Board Exam Results for 2026 The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the Class 10 and Class 12 board exam results for 2026, with Class 10 results expected on April 14 and Class 12 results anticipated in early May. This revised timeline follows the introduction of a second round of board exams in May 2026, which has accelerated the evaluation process. Over 43 lakh students, including approximately 25 lakh Class 10 candidates and 18.5 lakh Class 12 students, are awaiting their results. The evaluation process for Class 10 exams will be completed in nine days using On-Screen Marking (OSM), a digital system that reduces the time compared to the previous 12-day timeline for Class 12. Examiners will assess 20 answer sheets per day for major subjects and 25 for others, working in eight-hour shifts. This shift to digital evaluation aims to minimize delays, reduce manpower requirements, and cut transportation costs by eliminating the need to move physical answer sheets. Class 10 results are likely to be declared before the last week of April 2026, while Class 12 results are expected in the second week of May, aligning with historical patterns. Last year, both results were announced on May 13. The second set of board exams, introduced this year, allows students to improve their scores in up to three subjects, reflecting CBSE’s effort to provide multiple opportunities for academic improvement. The CBSE board exams for 2026 began on February 17, with Class 10 exams concluding on March 11 and Class 12 exams ending on April 10. Students who fall short by one or two marks in Class 10 may be awarded grace marks, provided they secure a minimum of 33% overall to pass.#class_10 #central_board_of_secondary_education #class_12 #cbse #on_screen_marking

CBSE 10th Result 2026 Expected by April 14 The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the Class 10th results for the 2026 academic year by April 14, according to recent updates. The board conducted the exams for Class 10 students from February 17 to March 11, 2026, and students are advised to monitor official channels for the result announcement. The CBSE 10th result 2026 will be accessible via the official website, cbse.gov.in, and other platforms such as results.cbse.nic.in, DigiLocker, and the UMANG app. Students can check their results by entering their roll number, school number, admit card ID, date of birth, and a security pin. The process involves visiting the CBSE website, clicking on the result link, and inputting the required details to view and download the result. Additionally, the results can be accessed through SMS, IVRS, and digital platforms like DigiLocker and the UMANG app. The CBSE 10th exam 2026 saw over 43 lakh students appear for the board exams, with 25 lakh specifically taking the Class 10 examination. The passing criteria for the 2026 exam remain unchanged, requiring students to secure at least 33% marks, which translates to 27 marks out of 80. In the 2025 results, southern regions such as Lakshadweep, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh recorded the highest pass percentages, with Lakshadweep achieving a 100% pass rate in Class 12. For students who fail in one subject, the CBSE allows them to improve their performance by appearing in the second board exam or compartment exam. The board has also introduced a new rule enabling students to attempt the second board exams for up to three subjects within the same academic year to enhance their scores.#umang_app #central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #digi_locker #cbsegovin
