Shillong, Meghalaya Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma announced that the state school education board will introduce two Class 10 examinations starting in 2025. The Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE) will conduct two Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) exams next year, following the state cabinet’s approval to amend the 2011 SSLC examination regulations.This change aims to offer students a second chance to pass the board exams.
“From the beginning of 2025, MBOSE will hold two SSLC board exams each year. The first exam will take place in February or early March, and the second will allow students who fail in all or a few subjects to retake the exam within one to two months which will be in May,” said Sangma.
The education minister said that this move aligns with the ongoing implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) and is designed to support students by reducing the time lost between attempts.
The cabinet had also approved the decision to do away with optional paper or ‘best of five papers’ from 2026-2027 academic years, this means that all students from 2026-2027 will have to pass all six subjects in the board examination.
The cabinet also approved the Service Rules for the Meghalaya Public School Service Rules, the Meghalaya Subordinate Water Resources Engineering Service Rules, 2024 and the Farmers Empowerment Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2024.
