BREAKING: CBSE Confirms “2 Board Exams” from 2026 – Class 10 & 12 Students to Get “Best of Two” Option, as outlined in the New Education Policy 2025.
New Education Policy 2025
New Delhi, November 20, 2025: The wait is finally over. The New Education Policy 2025 has been addressed as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) officially cleared the air regarding the “Two Board Exams” policy in a nationwide webinar held today.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!If you are a student of Class 10 or 12 (Academic Session 2025-26), here is the confirmed news that will change your exam strategy forever, as per the New Education Policy 2025.
1. Two Exams: Mandatory or Optional?
The biggest confusion among students was whether they must write both exams. The Education Ministry has clarified:
- Exam 1 (Feb-March): This is the mandatory main board exam that everyone must attempt.
- Exam 2 (May): This is completely optional.
If you score 75% in the first exam and feel you can do better, you can sit for the second exam in May. If you score 85% in the second one, your final marksheet will show 85%. If you score less, your previous 75% stays. It is a win-win situation with zero risk!
2. The End of “Science vs. Commerce”
In a historic move under the New Education Policy (NEP), the rigid walls between streams are broken.
- Old Rule: A Science student could only study Physics, Chemistry, and Math.
- New Rule: You can now create your own subject combination. Want to study Physics with History? Or Accountancy with Political Science? It is now possible.
3. PARAKH: The New Watchdog
A new national body called PARAKH is now active. Its job is to ensure that a student scoring 90% in the UP Board has the same value and knowledge level as a student scoring 90% in CBSE. This will bring equality during college admissions, a key element of the New Education Policy 2025.
4. Exam Pattern Changes (2026)
Say goodbye to rote learning (ratta-fication). The 2026 question papers will look different under the New Education Policy 2025:
- 50% Competency Questions: Real-life case studies and logic-based queries.
- More MCQs: Objective questions will carry higher weightage.
- Fewer Long Answers: Writing 5-page answers is no longer the key to success. Concept clarity is king.
