This move to have two SSLC examinations is to provide a second chance to students who did not pass the board exam.

"From the beginning of 2025, MBOSE will hold two SSLC board exams each year. The first exam will take place in February or early March, and the second will allow students who fail in all or a few subjects to retake the exam within one to two months which will be in May," said Sangma.

The education minister said that this move aligns with the ongoing implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) and is designed to support students by reducing the time lost between attempts.

The cabinet had also approved the decision to do away with optional paper or 'best of five papers' from 2026-2027 academic years, this means that all students from 2026-2027 will have to pass all six subjects in the board examination.
