In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, CBSE has also declared that, starting in 2026, there will be two board examinations for Class 10 students in an academic year.
According to CBSE’s official statement, a tentative date sheet had been released earlier on September 24, 2025, based on registration data from Class 9 and 11 students — 146 days prior to the examinations. The board noted that this marks the first time the final date sheet has been published almost 110 days before the exams, made possible by schools’ timely submission of the List of Candidates (LOC).
