In a separate announcement, Pradhan revealed that a draft scheme for conducting board exams twice a year will soon be made public for consultation. Emphasising the government's commitment to reducing academic stress, he highlighted that examination reforms are a crucial step toward a more student-friendly education system.

Currently, CBSE conducts board exams for Classes 10 and 12 in February-March. The board is exploring three possible formats for biannual exams: a semester system with exams in January-February and March-April, or an alternative model where the second set of exams is conducted in June alongside supplementary or improvement exams.

Previously, during the Covid-19 pandemic, CBSE had temporarily introduced a two-term board exam system, but it was discontinued the following year.
