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.
The provision allows for special exams if CBSE board exam dates overlap with sports or Olympiad schedules, considering even the travel days to and from host cities. Recognised Olympiads include competitions authorised by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE).
