Rajasthan to Offer Two Board Exam Chances Starting 2026-27

In a significant move, the Rajasthan government has announced that starting the 2026-27 academic session, the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) will offer students two chances to appear for their Class 10 and 12 board examinations.

According to the announcement made by the state's school education and panchayati raj minister Madan Dilawar, all students will be required to appear in the first board exam, scheduled for February-March. Those who qualify will then have the option to reappear in up to three subjects in a second attempt, which will be held in May-June of the same academic year.

The minister explained that the first main examination will cover the complete syllabus, and the study and examination plans will remain the same for both attempts. Students who are absent in the main exam will be allowed to appear in the second opportunity only if they provide a valid medical certificate or authorization from the district education officer.

This reform, the minister said, aims to reduce exam stress, give students more flexibility, and align Rajasthan's education system with the progressive goals of the National Education Policy 2020. The examination fee for both attempts will remain the same, and the "best of two attempts" policy will be applied, meaning the higher marks obtained in either attempt will be counted in the final result.
