The Central Board of Secondary Education has announced its time table for class 10th exams to be held in early 2025. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has also announced it will continue its practice of not releasing merit lists or division-wise marks for the 2025 board examinations. No toppers will be named, nor will students be categorized into divisions. To pass, students must secure at least 33% overall and in each subject individually.
This approach, first introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce competitive pressure, remains in place to foster a healthier academic environment. The policy aims to shift focus from rankings to individual achievements and learning progress.
