CBSE opens 2027 private candidate applications for Class 10 and 12 board exams

What happened

Applications open October 8, 2026, and close October 23 without a late fee. Forms submitted October 24 to 30 need an extra Rs 2,000. Eligibility covers repeat, compartment, failed and improvement candidates.

Why it may matter

• This is time-bound — there is an application or deadline involved, so check the dates before they pass.
• Evidence rather than policy — useful for understanding a trend.
• Useful if you are trying to find an internship or get a job.
