Eligibility for CBSE Class 10 Phase 2 Exams
Only those students who have appeared in Phase 1, conducted between February and March 2026, are eligible to take the second or improvement exam. They must register for the phase 2 exam by submitting the LOC through the schools. The second exam provides an opportunity to improve performance in up to three subjects, and is treated purely as an improvement attempt rather than a separate academic year.
