Two-board System Introduced: What It Means for CBSE Class 10 Results 2026

• The Phase 2 exams will be held from May 15 to June 1, 2026, with the same syllabus.
• Eligible students can register once the List of Candidates (LOC) is activated after results.

Impact on Results:

• Provides a second chance within the same academic year.
• Enables students to improve scores for better stream selection.
• May lead to higher pass percentage and improved overall performance trends.
