CBSE has also introduced flexibility for Class 10 students appearing for the supplementary exams. Those who had taken Standard Mathematics (Code 041) can now opt for Basic Mathematics (Code 241) during the compartment exam.
Additionally, Class 10 students can appear for up to two subjects, while Class 12 students can improve one subject.
Students who failed to qualify in their first or second attempt during the 2023–24 academic year are also eligible to appear as private candidates. However, this will be their final attempt to clear the board exams.
The board had conducted the 2025 exams from February 15 to March 18 for Class 10 and February 15 to April 4 for Class 12, with results declared on May 13.
The detailed timetable for the Class 10 supplementary exams will be released soon. Students are strongly advised to keep checking the official CBSE website for updates, as no further extensions for application submissions will be granted.
