CBSE Class X Board eligibility

Candidates must be studying in class 10 in a school affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, having been registered by the school in class 9 and having completed the attendance and internal assessment requirements laid down in the examination bye-laws. Schools submit the list of candidates and the examination fee within the notified window, so students apply through their school rather than directly.

The detailed conditions, subject combinations and the number of subjects allowed are given in the official bye-laws and circulars.
