2026 Board Exam Changes: How Teachmint Helps Teachers Adapt

The Teachmint X AI-Powered Connected Classroom Device links lesson planning, teaching and assessment, with EduAI supporting teachers at every step.

2026 brought big changes for CBSE students. Class 10 students sat two board exams for the first time, and half of each paper now tests how students apply concepts rather than what they memorise.

Preparing students for this means checking understanding regularly throughout the year, and many teachers say it’s adding to workloads already stretched by non-teaching duties. When planning, teaching and assessment are connected, teachers can spot learning gaps sooner and spend less time on repetitive work.

The Teachmint X connected classroom device is built for this. It links an AI-powered interactive flat panel in the classroom with a teacher's phone or laptop through the Connected Classroom App, with EduAI, Teachmint's AI teaching assistant, built in.

Plan: Ready before class

A teacher can prepare tomorrow's lesson on the bus home. EduAI can draft a lecture as a presentation, PDF or whiteboard, which the teacher reviews and adjusts. Because it is saved to the cloud, the lesson is ready on the smart board as soon as the teacher logs in.

Teach: Keeping the lesson flowing

In class, EduAI helps at the moments that usually break a lesson's flow. When a student asks an unexpected question, the teacher can bring up an explanation, image or video right on the classroom’s smart board for teaching. Maths and science problems can be worked through, and text can be translated into supported languages so more students can follow.

Assess: Checking learning as you go

EduAI helps teachers generate instant quizzes and homework based on the day's lesson. Students complete them on the app at home, giving teachers immediate performance reports to track progress long before term exams.

Support: Helping every student keep up

Those reports help teachers spot who needs extra help and plan the next lesson around it. AI-generated recaps can open the next class, and recorded lessons let absent students catch up.

Students have their own Teachmint app too. They can open the lessons and study material their teacher shares, practise with quizzes, and get simple explanations when they are stuck on a topic at home. Learning doesn't have to stop when the class ends.

The teacher stays in charge

Teachers decide what to teach and can review and adapt everything EduAI suggests before sharing it with students. Teachmint also supports schools with onboarding and training, helping teachers build confidence in using these tools every day.

As board exams increasingly reward understanding over memorisation, the tools that help most will be the ones that connect each stage of teaching rather than add to a teacher’s workload. That is what the Teachmint X connected classroom device sets out to do.
