From the 2026-27 academic session onwards, math and science are also being offered at two levels to Class 9 students — the advanced level will involve additional content beyond the common syllabus. Students who choose the advanced level will write an exam of 25 marks for one hour, in addition to the common final exam.

Singh said that subjects at two levels can help students identify their specific aptitudes, and they can opt for the advanced level in one subject, both, or none.

“For those who have cleared the advanced level, there will be a section in the marksheet with a description of the rubrics for the advanced level. Those who don’t clear it…there will be no mention of it in the marksheet. In the 2028 board exam, we’ll have these subjects at the advanced level as well,” he added.

While the Board had also considered introducing Social Science at two levels in Class 9, this has not been done yet since the curriculum and assessment for it have not been worked out, the CBSE official said

CBSE Board Class 10th, Result 2026 Live Updates: Compulsory third language in Class 6, vocational education a must in Class 9-10

According to CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh, the third language or R3 is not being made mandatory for Class 9 students yet. “R3 level textbooks will be introduced in Class 6 this year. They will write their board exams in 2031, and that’s when the entire scheme will change, and the three-language formula will be entirely implemented,” he said at the launch of the CBSE’s new secondary school curriculum.

A source said that with students expected to study at least two Indian languages as part of the three-language formula, those writing the Class 10 board exam in 2031 are not likely to be able to take the exam in both the English subject and a foreign language as the second or third language. This is because English will now be considered a foreign language, and the new curriculum allows only one foreign language, the source added.

CBSE Board Class 10th, Result 2026 Live Updates: Return to single board exam and syllabus rationalisation

In 2022–23, CBSE reverted to a single annual board examination system, ending the two-term structure that was temporarily introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The year-end exam once again covered 100% of the syllabus for both Class 10 and Class 12.

At the same time, NCERT implemented a rationalisation of textbooks, reducing syllabus content by approximately 25–30% across multiple classes. Several chapters across subjects — including history, political science, and science — were removed.

CBSE directed affiliated schools to follow the revised textbooks, and these rationalised versions continued to be used in subsequent years until newer curriculum-aligned books began to be phased in.

CBSE Board Class 10th, Result 2026 Live Updates: Shift toward competency-based testing and foundational stage reforms

CBSE began increasing the proportion of competency-based questions in the 2023–24 board exams. For Class 10, CBQs accounted for 40% of the paper, while for Class 12, they formed 30%. This marked the first major step toward reducing reliance on rote-based written responses and introducing application-based assessment formats such as case studies and source-based questions.

On the curriculum side, the board adopted the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) 2022, initiating the transition to the 5+3+3+4 school structure.

This included the formal introduction of Balvatika (pre-school stages) within CBSE-affiliated schools and modifications to affiliation norms to accommodate early childhood education.

In July 2023, CBSE also issued directions to schools to consider multilingual instruction, encouraging the use of Indian languages listed in the Eighth Schedule as mediums of teaching across classes. This aligned with NEP 2020’s recommendation on language flexibility in school education.

In April 2024, CBSE increased the share of competency-based questions (CBQs) to 50% for both Class 10 and Class 12 board exams. This marked a shift in paper design, particularly for Class 12, where the weightage of long and short answer questions was reduced to 30%, down from 50% in earlier formats. Objective-type questions continued to account for 20%.

The same academic year also saw the introduction of new NCERT textbooks for Classes 3 and 6, aligned with the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023. Schools were instructed to discontinue older editions for these classes, while rationalised textbooks introduced in 2022 continued for other grades.

CBSE Board Class 10th, Result 2026 Live Updates: Two board exams for Class 10 and expansion of digital evaluation systems

The most significant structural reform comes into effect in 2026, with CBSE introducing a two-exam system for Class 10 board examinations. Under the scheme notified in June last year, Class 10 students are required to appear for phase 1 exams held between February 17 and March 6, 2026. A second phase, scheduled from May 5 to May 20, is optional and allows students to improve scores in up to three subjects. The higher score between the two attempts will be considered final.

The policy also defines eligibility boundaries. Students absent in three or more subjects in CBSE phase 1 are not permitted to appear in phase 2, while compartment candidates from Phase 1 can use the second phase as a supplementary attempt. Internal assessments will continue to be conducted once annually.

While Class 12 remains on a single-exam format for now, CBSE has indicated that a similar system may be introduced from the next cycle onwards.

CBSE Board Class 10th, Result 2026 Live Updates: CBSE issues notice on new curriculum, adds ‘compulsory third language’

CBSE has also introduced a new curriculum framework for subsequent academic sessions, bringing in changes to language policy and subject requirements at the secondary level. Under this, a third language will become compulsory from Class 6, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, with students required to study at least two Indian languages as part of a three-language formula.

While this will be implemented in a phased manner, it sets the stage for the third language to eventually become part of the Class 10 board examination structure by 2031.

CBSE Board Class 10th, Result 2026 Live Updates: Class 10 exams cancelled in Middle East

This decision follows a series of disruptions earlier this year. CBSE had first postponed exams in gradual phases for both Class 10 and 12 across multiple West Asian nations, due to the escalating Iran–US–Israel war. As the situation worsened, the board eventually cancelled the remaining Class 10 examinations across countries, including Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
