Not Mandatory To Appear For Class 10, 12 Board Exams Twice A Year: Dharmendra Pradhan

New Delhi: It won’t be mandatory for students to appear for Class 10 and 12 board exams twice a year.

The optional facility is being introduced to alleviate stress levels students often face when there is a single opportunity for them, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said.

“The students will have the option of appearing for the exams twice a year, just like the engineering entrance exam JEE. They can choose the best score… but it will be completely optional, no compulsion,” Pradhan told PTI.

“The students often get stressed thinking they lost a year, their chance is gone or could have performed better… the option is being introduced to reduce the stress caused by the fear of single opportunity,” Pradhan explained.

“If any student feels that he is completely prepared and is satisfied with the score in the first set of exams, he can choose not to appear for the next exams. Nothing will be mandatory,” he added.

The New Curriculum Framework (NCF), which was announced by Union Ministry of Education two months ago, stated that Board exams will be held twice a year, so students have enough time to prepare and retain the best scire.
