‘‘It’s False’: CBSE On Reports Saying It Can't Conduct Exams Biannually

Central Board of Secondary Education ( CBSE ) falls under one of the top-most boards in India from the education system. We often come across a variety of news regarding the CBSE education system. CBSE board-related rumours frequently go viral. In general, when confusion gets at its peak among students, the CBSE board itself fact-checks them right away and reveals the false information.Currently, there is news that the CBSE board exam will undergo significant changes. According to numerous media sources, the board exams will take place twice a year starting in 2025. Some claim that the Central Board of Secondary Education won’t be able to hold exams twice a year at the same time.

Recently, a press statement was released by the CBSE Board. The news cautions against believing any kind of fake news. The news that was posted on a news website was mentioned by the CBSE Board. The headline for this story, which was released on June 30, reads, “CBSE: Board exams cannot be held twice a year.” The news appears as though it was prepared via a Central Board of Secondary Education official’s comment.

The CBSE denied a media report that stated the organisation had informed the education ministry that the existing academic timetable would not allow for the twice-yearly administration of board exams for classes 10 and 12.

“This relates to the news story that was published in Hindustan Times. Similar news stories have also been covered by a few other news outlets. The news item refutes the imputation on the views of CBSE on the topic raised,” CBSE stated on X, adding, “It is completely false and has no basis in any communication made between the ministry and CBSE.”

The CBSE board has declared the news stated above to be wholly untrue. The Central Board of Secondary Education sent a press release stating that no such message regarding the inability to hold the 10th and 12th exams twice a year has been received by the Ministry of Education from the CBSE.

A meeting about the National Curriculum Framework and the New Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) was held by CBSE on June 25th with key stakeholders. The CBSE Board is getting ready to administer board exams twice a year (CBSE Board Exam 2025) and to start implementing the new education policy with this session. Numerous reports state that the new pattern’s first board exam will take place in January 2026, and the exam’s second session will take place in April 2026. On this note, the Ministry of Education and the CBSE are still waiting for their final update. The CBSE board syllabus may also be altered starting with the 2026–2027 session.

Students are thus required to not follow any kind of fake news regarding the exams or syllabus unless an official notice is by the Central Board itself. For any kind of queries, students can get in touch with the official website contacts or their respective schools for any updates.
