From the academic year 2022-23, CBSE board exams will be held once a year

CBSE to switch to conducting board exams for classes 10 and 12 only once a year from 2022-23 onwards. Board last year announced two sets of board exams in order to prepare for “unprecedented situation” that could have arisen because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

CBSE has decided to switch from two-term exams to one set of board exams at the end of the academic year. The first set of exams were held in an objective multiple-choice format between November and December 2021 and the second set of exams are scheduled from April 26, 2022. Move was recommended in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The board exams for students entering classes 10 and 12 will end in the 2022-23 academic year. Board exams will no longer be factored in for admissions to all central and state universities. A centrally conducted admission test (Common University Entrance Test, or CUET) score will determine admissions from this year.
