CBSE says all students must attend school at least 75% of the time to write the Class 10 and 12 board exams in 2025-26.

This rule is very important. Students and schools must follow it.

Important Points:

• Schools will tell students and parents about this rule at the start of the year.
• If a student is sick or has an emergency, they must give a written note and proof like a doctor’s certificate.
• Schools will keep daily attendance records. CBSE can check these records anytime.
• If a student misses many days, the school will tell their parents.
• If attendance records are wrong or fake, the student can be stopped from writing exams, and the school can be punished.

When Can Attendance Be Allowed Even If Below 75%?

• If the student was very sick for a long time, had a family emergency, or played official sports.
• The student must give papers and a written application.
• The school must send these papers to CBSE by January 7.
• Late or incomplete papers will not be accepted.
