CBSE Announces 2024 Board Exam Dates For Class 10, 12

CBSE Exams 2024: The board exams for Class 10 and 12 for next year will begin on February 15, 2024, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced on Friday. The announcement was made by CBSE Exam Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj. 

The Ministry of Education has decided to announce exam schedules much in advance to sync the academic calendar and help students prepare for entrance exams. 

The CBSE has decided to change the nomenclature of the 'compartment' exam to 'supplementary' exam based on recommendations made in the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020, This decision was taken to offer more opportunities to students to improve their performance on board exams. 

While Class 10 students will get an opportunity to improve their performance in two subjects in the supplementary exam, Class 12 students will get the chance to improve their scores in one subject. 

For students who are placed in the supplementary category and those who wish to improve their performances, the exam will be conducted in July and the dates will be announced soon.

Over 3.08 lakh students have scored above 90 percent marks in the CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 exams while over 66,000 secured scores above 95 percent, the board announced on Friday. The board has scrapped the practice of announcing merit lists and awarding divisions on the basis of marks to discourage unhealthy competition among the students. 

In Class 12, 1,12,838 (1.12 lakh) students have scored above 90 percent, and 22,622 candidates secured above 95 percent marks. 
In Class 10, 1,95,799 (1.95 lakh) candidates have scored above 90 percent marks while 44,297 have scored above 95 percent.
