The Central Board of Secondary Education on Tuesday notified this onetime measure for the present batch of Class X as they are coming from a different assessment background.
The present batch of Class X students will sit for the exam on March 5, which will be the first mandatory public exam after eight years.

Students who continued with CBSE at senior secondary level and in the same school were made to take the school-based exam instead of the boards. The CCE system was revoked in 2017 by the board and Class X board was mandatory.
According to the notification issued by Anita Karwal, chairperson, CBSE, the examination committee in its meeting recently decided to extend the one-time exemption to Class X students as they will be the first batch after the board exam made a comeback.

The same passing criteria will also apply in the additional subjects, provided the additional subjects comprises of internal assessment of 20 marks and board examination of 80 marks.
Moreover, this rule about passing in the subjects will also apply for students with subjects under the National Skills Qualifications Framework scheme for the five major subjects (two languages, science, mathematics and social science. The provision of replacement of subjects extended to the NSQF students “for the failed subjects (out of the three subjects – science, mathematics and social science) by the vocational subject passed by the candidate under NSQF) would continue to apply.”
