CBSE Board Exams 2023: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct Class 10 and Class 12 board exams for the 2023 batch February 15 onwards.

Only 1 board exam

However, this system will not continue next year, as the board has announced that there will be only one exam in 2023, just like it used to be in previous years.

In addition to holding only 1 exam, CBSE has also rationalised the coursework for students of classes 9 to 12 by around 30%. Curriculum for next year’s board exams can be checked on cbseacademic.nic.in.
