👉 Official Notice : CBSE Class 10 Phase 2 Admit Card 2026

This is the first time CBSE is conducting Class 10 board exams in two phases. The change follows the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 guidelines. The aim is to reduce exam pressure and give students a chance to improve their scores.

CBSE Class 10 Phase 2 Exam Date 2026

The CBSE Class 10 Phase 2 exams will run from May 15 to May 22, 2026, with Mathematics on May 15, Science on May 19, and Social Science on May 22. The board has shared the full date sheet on its official website.

Around 6.68 lakh students have registered for the second board exam. Of these, over 5.25 lakh applied to improve their scores, about 85,000 fall under the compartment category, and nearly 58,000 opted for both improvement and compartment.

Who Can Appear for the CBSE Second Board Exam 2026

Social Science is scheduled for May 22, 2026.

Students can re-appear in up to three subjects. They can choose from Mathematics, Science, Social Science, or languages. Students cannot change subjects. They can only re-take papers they had attempted in the first exam. Internal assessment marks cannot be improved.

Students under the Essential Repeat (ER) category are not eligible. Those who were absent in three or more subjects in the main exam also cannot apply.

Regular students cannot download the admit card on their own. Their schools handle the process. Private candidates, however, can download it directly from the CBSE website.

Details Mentioned on the Admit Card

The CBSE admit card contains key information that students need to verify. It includes the student's name, roll number, and parents' names. It also shows the exam centre's name and address. Students will find the exam dates, subject codes, and reporting time on the card. The admit card also lists important exam-day rules.

Students must check every detail on the admit card carefully and report any error to their school right away so the school can submit a correction request to CBSE.

Exam Day Guidelines for Students

Students must check every detail on the admit card carefully and report any error to their school right away so the school can submit a correction request to CBSE.

• Carry the admit card and a valid school ID card

• Reach the exam centre well before the reporting time

• Wear a proper school uniform

• Don't carry mobile phones, smartwatches, or calculators

• Books, notes, and loose papers aren't allowed inside the hall

• Entry won't be allowed after 10:00 AM

• Keep 2-3 photocopies of the admit card for safety

No student will be allowed inside the exam hall without the admit card. So, it's wise to keep this document safe until the result is declared.

What Students Should Do Next

If you've registered for the Phase 2 exam, contact your school for the admit card. Verify all details once you receive it. Read the exam-day rules printed on the back of the card. Plan your travel to the exam centre in advance. The exam centre may not be close to your home, so prepare accordingly.

The second board exam gives students a real chance to do better without losing a year. Use this time to revise the subjects you've chosen. Stay calm, sleep well, and trust your preparation.
