I failed my class 12 CBSE regular year, and again the next year as a private candidate. Can I appear for it again on the upcoming year?

If a student fails in Class 12 CBSE Board Exams on his regular year and fails again on the next year as a private candidate through essential repeat, is he allowed to appear again through CBSE (essential repeat 2nd attempt)? Is there a fixed number of permissible attempts of essential repeats?

    If the student fails in more than one subject, then he/she is marked as “Essential Repeat" in CBSE class 12 and must give the exams the next year. Even if you passed, but want to improve your marks, you can appear as a private candidate.13 May 2025

Yes, as an Indian student, if you have scored above 80% then you can submit these scores. Given that these scores are awarded by any of these bodies - CBSE, AISSCE, CUSCE or ISC

The students won't even have to take IELTS or TOEFL for UCD if the given English language requirements are met.

Yes, NUCAT syllabus is similar to high school Class 12 curriculum of CBSE, ISC, and various state boards. Topics covered in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are generally based on topics taught in Indian schools. Students who have studied under CBSE, ISC, or state boards will find familiar topics in NUCAT exam. There will be difference in type of questions asked in NUCAT 2026. It's always recommended to check official syllabus provided by the institution, as some topics have a slightly different focus or emphasis based on course or programme requirements.

Class 11 syllabus is vast. It is lots of theoretical concepts. Also, there are many formulas to remember. One who have good grip over concept and formulas can easily qualify the examination. Some of the important chapters in class 11 Physics are Laws of motions, gravitation, oscillations, thermodynamics, etc.  These topics are also important to prepare for competitive examination.
