New Delhi: The year 2025 marked a major reform in India’s school education system, with the Central Board of Secondary education (CBSE) introducing significant changes to the Class 10 board examinations. Among the most noteworthy was the two-board-exam policy, allowing students two annual opportunities to appear for their board exams.
The move aims to ease academic pressure, reduce stress, and provide students with a second chance to perform better without the anxiety of a single high-stakes exam. Under this system, students can choose to appear in either the first exam cycle or the second cycle, with both results being equally valid for academic progression and college admissions.
Education experts believe this policy is a paradigm shift in India’s examination culture, promoting a more student-friendly approach that prioritizes learning over rote memorization. It also aligns with global trends where multiple assessment opportunities are offered to reduce exam-related stress.
The two-board-exam policy has been widely welcomed by students, parents, and educators, who see it as a step toward a more balanced, flexible, and inclusive education system in India.
