Outlining the requirements for the students to appear in the Board exams of Class X and XII, the Board stated that class X and Class XI are two years programmes consisting of Class IX and Class X and Class XI and Class XII, respectively.

The Board further stated that it is mandatory for the students to have minimum 75% attendance. In all the subjects offered by the CBSE, internal assessment is a compulsory integral part of the assessment as per National Education Policy-2020. “It is a 2-year-long process. If a student does not attend school, his/her internal assessment cannot be done. In the absence of performance in internal assessment, a student’s result cannot be declared. Such students even if they are regular students will be placed in the Essential Repeat Category,” the statement read.
The CBSE offers additional subjects in Class X and Class XI. In Class X, students can offer 2 subjects in addition to compulsory 5 subjects and in Class XI, only one additional subject can be offered. Students offering additional subjects will study the additional subject for 2 years.
Even in affiliated schools, if a school has not taken permission from CBSE to offer any subject and they do not have teachers, labs etc., their students are not allowed to offer such subjects as main or additional subjects.
If a regular student has offered additional subject(s) in previous years and has been placed either in “Compartment” or “Essential Repeat” category, they can appear as a private candidate under compartment or Essential Repeat Category.
A student who is not meeting the above conditions is not eligible for examinations in additional subjects in Board examinations as a private candidate, the notification concluded.
