“The Board offers a 25% relaxation only in cases of exigencies such as medical emergencies, participation in national or international sports events, and other serious reasons, provided the necessary documentation is submitted,” the board recently said.

Students preparing for board exams can download Class 10 and 12 sample papers from the CBSE academic portal – cbseacademic.nic.in. Going through the sample papers will help them understand the pattern and marking scheme for board examinations.

For further information, students are advised to visit the board's website regularly.
