CBSE board exams for Class 10, 12 from February 15 next year

Shortly after announcing the results for Class 10 and Class 12 exams, the Central Board of Secondary Education has announced the dates for the next academic year's exams.

According to an announcement from CBSE's Exam Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj, the next cycle of board exams for Class 10 and 12 will begin from February 15, 2024.

This announcement comes in light of the Ministry of Education deciding to announce exam schedules much in advance to sync the academic calendar and help students prepare for entrance exams.


Results declared on Friday saw 93.12 percent of students clearing the Class 10 exams, a dip of 1.28 percentage points from last year, while the results for Class 12 saw 87.33 percent students have passed. Both grades saw girl students outperform their male counterparts.

The board has also decided to scrap awarding first, second and third divisions based on students' scores, in a bit to avoid unhealthy competition and will also skip publishing a merit list.

"No merit list will be declared by the CBSE to avoid unhealthy competition among the students. However, the board will issue merit certificates to 0.1 per cent of students who have scored the highest marks in various subjects," a senior board official announced post the results.
