Key Changes Announced for CBSE Board Exams 2026

CBSE has introduced several important changes this year in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Here's a quick overview:

CBSE's Notice on Relieving Teachers for Evaluation

In a separate notice, CBSE has directed schools to relieve teachers immediately for evaluation duty once instructions are received from the Regional Office. The board stressed that error-free evaluation depends on the devotion, sincerity, and availability of qualified evaluators.

Teachers must be relieved full-time for the entire duration of evaluation in their subject. Schools also need to issue relieving certificates as per the prescribed format. CBSE has warned that non-compliance will invite strict action, and the results of the concerned school may not be declared if rules aren't followed.

What Happens If Schools Don't Comply?

CBSE has made it clear that any deviation will be treated seriously. Here's what schools need to keep in mind:

CBSE has reminded schools that if any student suffers due to non-compliance, it's the school's responsibility. The board has urged schools to ensure fairness and accuracy in the evaluation process.
