The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a Two Board Examination Scheme for Class 10 private candidates, set to begin in the 2026 examination cycle. This initiative, notified on June 25, 2025, allows students to retake exams in up to three subjects during the Second Board Examinations scheduled for May 2026. Eligible candidates include those in the third-chance compartment category from the 2024-25 academic year and those who missed the main examination in 2026. Applications must be submitted online through the CBSE website, with a submission window from April 16 to April 22, 2026. The fee structure varies, with a regular fee of ₹320 per subject for candidates in India, while those from Nepal and other countries will pay ₹2,200 per subject. Late submissions incur an additional fee of ₹2,000. Strict compliance rules are in place, emphasizing the importance of accurate information and timely payment, as applications may be disqualified for inaccuracies or late submissions. The entire application process is digital, requiring no hard copies, and candidates must ensure correct subject codes to avoid rejection.
