The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) successfully conducted the Class 10 Science exam on May 15, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Initial feedback from students indicates a moderate difficulty level, with many describing the multiple-choice questions as straightforward. However, some students found certain long-answer questions to be tricky and application-based. One student remarked, "The paper was balanced. If you had studied NCERT thoroughly, scoring 80+ is very achievable." Candidates were allotted 15 minutes of reading time before the exam, enabling them to devise a strategy for tackling the questions. As the Phase 2 board exams continue until May 21, 2026, students are reminded to carry their CBSE 10th admit card for verification, as entry without it is prohibited. With the Science paper concluded, students are encouraged to shift focus to their upcoming subjects, including Social Science and vocational papers, as per their individual streams.
