CBSE Supplementary Exam 2025: Registration begins for class 10, 12 private students; apply by June 17

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has opened the registration process for the 2025 supplementary examinations for private candidates of Class 10 and Class 12. The registration window is open from 30 May to 17 June 2025. Students who are eligible can apply online through the official website of CBSE at cbse.gov.in.

Private candidates who appeared in the CBSE Class 10 or 12 board examinations in 2025 and were placed in the 'compartment' category are eligible to apply for the supplementary exams. In addition, private students who have already passed but wish to improve their marks in a subject can also register.

It is important to note that regular students with a compartment status must apply for the supplementary exams through their respective schools, not individually.
