Questions related to CBSE Class 10th

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CBSE Class 10th ?

Hello, according to CBSE and most Indian education boards, the typical age for appearing in the Class 10 exam is around 15-16 years. However, there are some exceptional cases where academically advanced students complete their studies early. If you have officially cleared Class 10 from CBSE, received a valid marksheet, and your school and board have accepted your age proof during registration, your certificate is considered valid. Problems only arise if your admission to Class 10 violated the board’s eligibility rules (for example, skipping multiple classes without approval). In such rare cases, the board might question the validity. But if CBSE has issued you the certificate after proper procedures, it is legally recognized for further studies, competitive exams, and jobs. If you are worried about age restrictions for certain exams (like 17 years minimum for NEET), you might need to wait until you meet the required age.

Thank you, and best of luck for your studies.



Hello,

Yes, you are right. To get eligible for the 10th board examination, you need a minimum of 75% attendance. This is a rule that applies to the CBSE, or Central Board of Secondary Education, recognized schools. There are exceptions to this rule in the scenario, like

  • Medical Emergencies
  • Personal Tragedies
  • Official Sports Participation

I hope it will clear your query!!
