Meanwhile, the second CBSE board examination is optional. Students may choose to appear only if they wish to improve their scores. For the final results, the better score in the two exams will be considered for the computation of the final result. The syllabus for the second examination will remain the same as that of the first examination.
Under the scheme, a student can appear for improvement in a maximum of three subjects in the second examination. Students who fail in two subjects in the first examination will be placed in the compartment category and allowed to appear in the second one. However, students who fail or do not appear in three or more subjects will not be eligible for the second examination. They will be able to appear in the main Board examinations in 2027.
