Biannual board exams are planned as part of India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to give students plenty of chances to achieve academic success.
Digital Desk: Beginning with the academic year 2025–2026, students in classes 10 and 12 will have the opportunity to sit for board examinations twice a year, according to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. According to the minister, the action was taken to reduce academic stress.
Biannual board exams are planned as part of India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to give students plenty of chances to achieve academic success.
In August of last year, the Ministry of Education unveiled the New Curriculum Framework (NCF), which states that board exams will take place at least twice a year to give students enough time and a chance to do well. Additionally, they will have the choice to keep the best score.
Pradhan asked the students in attendance if they were satisfied with the outcome and told them to retain their best exam scores after showing up for both exams.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's vision through the NEP is to keep students stress-free, enrich them with quality education, keep students linked with culture, and prepare them for the future. This is the formula for making India a developed country by 2047," he said.
The new system of twice-a-year board exams for Class 10th and Class 12th is not mandatory.
The minister of education was giving a speech at a Chhattisgarh function. In Chhattisgarh, the federal minister on Monday introduced the PM SHRI (Prime Minister Schools for Rising India) program, which calls for the renovation of 211 state schools.
According to the Union minister, 211 schools in Chhattisgarh—193 elementary and 18 secondary—will be upgraded under the PM SHRI scheme's first phase, with each one costing Rs 2 crore.
The 'hub', or mentor institution, will be centrally located and tasked with leading the mentee institution through the'spoke', or subsidiary branches, by offering the mentee self-improvement services.
In the next phase of the program, Pradhan added, more secondary and higher secondary schools will be included, in response to a request made by Brijmohan Agrawal, the Minister of School and Higher Education for Chhattisgarh.
Class 10 and Class 12 board exams 2024 start

Over 39 lakh students from India and 26 other countries are scheduled to sit for the exam this year, according to the CBSE.
