Private candidates who have given board exams in 2026 from CBSE board will no longer have an option of additional subject. This decision of CBSE has come without any prior notice. Thousands of private candidates will be affected by this step.
Students are also angry with this because many students had decided their next career on the basis of this option. Along with this, there are many students who dropped to get better numbers. For many students, ‘additional subject’ was not just an option but also an essential eligibility to get entry in JEE, NEET and other higher educational courses.
Students angry with board move
Students are angry about this move of CBSE Board. On the social media platform Redit, a user wrote, ‘The board did not give any information about this step before. I am from PCB i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Biology Background. I thought that I would take maths as an additional subject, so that I would have a backup option of engineering when NEET is not left out.
The same student further wrote, ‘The form for private candidates was released today (13 September) and the option of additional subject is missing in it. There is also no additional subject category in the registration form. In his place, categories of improvement and fellowers etc. have been given.
Many students ruined their full year
There are many students who dropped the year on the option of additional subject, but all are upset after the board’s decision to remove this option.
On the Redit, a user wrote, ‘I had dropped for NEET exam. This will be the second attachment of my NEET. I could not take a drop in front of it now, so this time I decided that I will take maths as an additional subject, so that I can also give JEE exam. But now it is not an option. I also gave up preparations for NEET for JEE. Now I do not understand what to do.
CBSE helpline of no use
Students are constantly calling the helpline numbers of CBSE board but no solution has been done to their problem. Some students said that the helpline has been asked to wait. At the same time, some students said that despite constant calls on the helpline, their phone was not picked up. A student wrote on the Reddit that he called and got an answer from the front that this year the option of additional subject would not come back.
Many students want to wait for the official announcement of the board but they do not have much time. September 30, 2025 is the last date to fill the form. However, late submissions can be done by 11 October.
