Summary
The overall pass percentage in the Class 10 board examinations rose to 96.78% after the second board examination, with 59.95% students improving their performance, according to results announced by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Saturday. The 2026 Class 10 cohort is the first to be assessed under CBSE’s two-board examination system, a key reform under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aimed at reducing the “high-stakes” nature of board examinations by giving students an additional opportunity to improve their scores. The board has introduced a major change in the Class 10 board exam system from the 2026 academic session.
Furthermore, If a student performs better in Science during the second exam but scores lower in English, CBSE will consider the improved Science marks while keeping the original English marks.
