What are Sent-Up Exams?

Sent-Up exams are like practice or pre-board examinations held at the school level. Their main purpose is to prepare students for the final board exams. They also help schools check if students are ready.

Here are the important dates for the upcoming Sent-Up exams for both Class 10 and Class 12 students:

Mandatory Attendance Rule

A strict rule from BSEB states that students must have a minimum of 75% attendance in their classes. This attendance record is checked for both the Sent-Up exams and the final annual board exams. Schools will verify each student's attendance. If a student's attendance falls below 75%, they will not be allowed to sit for either the Sent-Up exams or the main board exams. Students should attend school regularly to meet this rule and avoid missing exams.
