CBSE Class 10 Science Exam 2026: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) issued a new circular on February 24, 2026, related to the exam structure and answer writing pattern for the Class 10 Science paper. The paper is divided into three sections: Section A (Biology), Section B (Chemistry), and Section C (Physics), so that evaluation can be done accurately. 

CBSE has allowed students to attempt the three sections in any order, for example, A-B-C, B-A-C, or C-B-A. However, for clarity, the Board has strictly instructed the students to write answers for each section in the designated space allotted to that section.
