Hello,

Yes, you can do both together. As a private candidate, you can appear for the improvement exam in the subjects you already passed and also take Biology as an additional subject in the same year. You will need to apply separately for improvement and for the additional subject when the board opens the forms.

It is better to confirm the exact process and dates from your board (CBSE/State board) before applying.

Hope it helps !

Yes, you can typically appear for both the additional subject Biology and improve your marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) as a private candidate in the next board exams. Most state and central boards allow private candidates to reappear for one or more subjects along with additional subjects in the same exam cycle.

You will need to register as a private candidate with your respective board, fill out the application for the subjects you want to appear for, and pay the required fees. Exams for all these subjects are usually conducted together during the regular board exam period.

It’s best to check with your state or central education board for specific guidelines and deadlines for private candidate registration.

Generally it depends on your board like in CBSE candidate cannot appear for an additional subject and an improvement exam simultaneously.here after clearing the additional subject, you could consider taking the improvement exam in later years.

So i suggest you to contact your school as they interpret the board rules clearly.

All the best..
