The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an official notification on October 15 to principals and heads of affiliated schools about compulsory 75 percent of attendance for Class 10 and 12 students appearing for 2025 board examinations.
As per the Board’s guidelines, the students have to maintain at least 75 percent attendance so that they can appear for the board exams. Certain exceptions can be ruled out such as medical emergencies, participating in national/ international sports event, but should provide proper documents and submit to the board. However, the schools have been directed to communicate the compulsory attendance rule to the parents and the students and if they are not able to attend, they should also know the repercussions.
The CBSE has also issued a warning that if any school found with students absent without appropriate leave documentation during surprise inspections will be held accountable for failing to ensure regular attendance. Such students may be barred from appearing in the board exams. After the attendance records have been submitted to the CBSE board, no revisions will be allowed and attendance will be calculated up to January 1st of the academic session.
