CBSE Class 10 Second Board: Passing Criteria & Marking Scheme

• Students must score a minimum of 33% in both theory and internal/practical assessment to pass.
• There is no negative marking in the CBSE Class 10 Second Board Exam.
• CBSE may award grace marks in borderline cases as per board policy, though this is not disclosed individually.

How CBSE's Dual-Exam (Two Attempts) Policy Works

Under CBSE's two-board-exam policy:

• Students who appeared in Phase 1 (Feb–March 2026) could opt to improve their marks in up to three subjects in Phase 2.
• CBSE will consider the higher of the two scores (Phase 1 vs Phase 2) for these subjects in the final result.
• Students placed in the Compartment category from the 2025 exam cycle were also eligible to appear in the May 2026 Second Board Exam.
• The Phase 1 marksheet can be used provisionally for Class 11 admissions via DigiLocker until the official Phase 2 marksheet/certificates are issued.

What If a Student Doesn't Pass?

• Students who do not clear the exam even after the Second Board attempt will be eligible for the CBSE Class 10 Compartment Exam.
• The Compartment Exam is expected to be held in July 2026, with results expected in August 2026.
• Official dates for the compartment exam will be announced separately by CBSE.

• Marks verification, photocopy of answer sheets, and re-evaluation requests can be submitted as per CBSE's post-result schedule.
• Passing certificates and migration certificates will be issued — digital copies via DigiLocker, physical copies through schools.
• The online marksheet is provisional; the original marksheet must be collected from the respective school.
