CBSE Enforces 75% Attendance Rule for Class 10 and 12 Students Appearing in 2025 Exams
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has mandated that students in Class 10 and 12 must maintain a minimum of 75% attendance to be eligible for the 2025 board exams. This policy reinforces the importance of regular attendance and has been communicated through official notifications to the principals and heads of CBSE-affiliated schools.
Strict Compliance for Board Exam Eligibility
Under CBSE Examination Bye-Laws, Rules 13 and 14, schools are required to ensure that students attend at least 75% of their classes to qualify for the upcoming board exams. Exceptions may be considered for students facing medical emergencies or those involved in national or international sports, provided they submit valid documentation. In such cases, up to 25% relaxation may be granted.
Consequences for Non-Compliance
The Board has instructed schools to notify both parents and students about the mandatory attendance requirement and the repercussions for failing to meet the attendance threshold. CBSE will also conduct surprise inspections, and schools found allowing students with insufficient attendance may face consequences, including barring students from appearing in the board exams.
Conclusion
CBSE’s strict enforcement of the attendance rule underscores the importance of consistent participation in school for academic success. Students and parents are advised to comply with this policy to ensure eligibility for the 2025 board examinations.
