The Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) has made Class X exams mandatory for all students after a gap of seven years. The HRD Ministry had made it optional from the 2010-11 batch.
Keeping this change in mind the CBSE has also modified the passing criteria. Students appearing for the exam this year need not secure mandatory separate pass criteria in the subjects having internal assessment component of 20 marks and 80 marks of Board examination.
