New Delhi: In a move to support students balancing academics with excellence in sports and Olympiads, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct special board exams in 2025 for those participating in national and international competitions.
This initiative, introduced in 2018, ensures that students who represent the nation in events recognised by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI), or international Olympiads do not face academic disadvantages.
