In a major move, the education ministry will be providing students the opportunity to appear in their board examination twice a year from the academic year 2025-26. This opportunity will be provided to students appearing in both the 10th and 12th board examinations.
An announcement was made by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in this regard.
The New Curriculum Framework (NCF) announced by the Ministry of Education in August 2023, mentions that the board examinations will be held at least twice a year to ensure students have enough time and opportunity to perform well.
This has been aimed at reducing the stress undergone by the students while appearing in the board examination. This apart, students will also have the option to retain their best score out of the two examinations they are appearing in.
The Education minister also launched the PM SHRI scheme in Chhattisgarh on Monday. Under this scheme, 211 schools in the state will be upgraded and Rs 2 crore will be spent on each one of them.
