Non-regular candidates, who failed in more than two subjects in prior exams, must reappear in all subjects without changes. Compartmental candidates, limited to three or fewer failed subjects, will get only two chances before shifting to non-regular status. Improvement candidates from 2025 batch can reattempt subjects for better scores, with one chance only. Private candidates are restricted to the Arts stream and require prior Board permission, including passing a Class XI internal exam after registration.

The notice also covers exemptions for Persons with Disabilities (PWD), including visually impaired, hearing impaired, and others, who are waived from certain subjects like MIL or Alternative English and examination fees upon submission of a Unique Disability ID (UDID).
