Background: The Two-Board Policy
In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, this year marks the full implementation of the two-phase examination system for Class 10. This policy allows students to appear for exams twice in an academic year, with the higher of the two scores being reflected in their final certificate. The board has also cautioned students and parents against falling for misinformation. Candidates are advised to verify all exam-related updates exclusively through the official CBSE website and refrain from sharing unverified materials on platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram.
