Yes, you may still have a chance to improve your marks in 2026, but it depends on the rules of your respective education board (CBSE or State Board).

In most boards, students are allowed to appear for the improvement exam only once or twice within a fixed time period after passing Class 12. Since you already appeared for an improvement exam in 2024, you should first check whether your board permits a second improvement attempt in 2026. Some boards allow re-appearing as a private candidate, while others do not.

If your board allows it, you can apply as a private candidate in the subject you want to improve and appear for the exam in 2026. However, if the board does not permit further improvement attempts, then improving marks through board exams may not be possible.

It is strongly advised to:
• Check the official notification or website of your board
• Contact your school or board office directly for confirmation
• Verify eligibility for private candidate or compartment/improvement rules

This will give you a clear and final answer based on official guidelines.

All the best!

Hello,

You can take the 2026 improvement exams as private exams through CBSE or by switching to NIOS, as you passed in 2024 and are allowed consecutive attempts, with the 2026 attempt potentially allowing improvement in all subjects.

I hope it will clear your query!!
