The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the schedule for its second board test for 10th grade pupils. The secondary exams will start on May 15 with the Mathematics Standard (041) and Mathematics Basic (241) tests. English exams will be held on May 16, followed by Science on May 18, and Language papers on May 19, all in one shift. Meanwhile, the Social Sciences (087) paper will be held last, on May 21.
This is the first time that the CBSE is conducting a second-regular round of exams under its ‘two-board exam’ structure notified last year. The second board exam allows students who have already appeared and or passed the CBSE Class 10th main exam held earlier in February to re-appear for up to three subjects, and improve their scores.
