CBSE Class 10 and 12 Board Exams Kick Off Amidst Mixed Emotions

Lakhs of students started their mandatory first exam in mathematics as part of the month-long CBSE Class 10 and 12 board exams, with strict attendance rules enforced by the board.

  • On Tuesday, lakhs of Class 10 and Class 12 students across the country appeared for the CBSE exams, starting with the mathematics paper and a month-long schedule.
  • Following appeals from pupils, the CBSE reiterated its attendance policy on Monday after issuing a letter on Saturday clarifying that attendance for the first exam is mandatory.
  • Families and coaching centres played a key role in preparation, with Dilip Kumar arranging online coaching, while students like Advait Chetan noted protocols such as OMR sheets at exam centres.
  • Many students welcomed the chance for two board exams, viewing the second as a backup, while parents said only sitting will reveal preparedness.
  • The rule raises the stakes for attendance and future attempts as CBSE said missing three or more subjects in the first Class 10 exam bars students from the second, while passed students may improve up to three subjects in Science, Mathematics, Social Science, and Languages.
