CBSE Confirms No Change in Class 10 Passing Criteria for 2026-27
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has confirmed that the passing criteria for Class 10 students remain unchanged for the 2026-27 academic year. Students must secure a combined minimum of 33 per cent marks from internal assessments and board examinations, rather than achieving 33 per cent separately in each. This clarification follows concerns raised by teachers and students about the secondary school curriculum. The assessment structure includes 80 marks for the main exam and 20 marks for internal assessment, both of which students must complete.
