New Opportunity for Class XI Repeaters
A special provision has been announced for students who will be repeating Class XI (i.e., Semester I and Semester II) under the new semester system curriculum. These students are now permitted to choose a new combination of subjects from the very first semester. They can select subjects from any of the prescribed sets (i.e., Set I, Set II, and Set III) as per the council’s regulations, provided the subjects are available in their respective institutions.

To avail this facility, the concerned institutions or their authorized representatives must visit their respective Regional Offices of the Council. The following documents are required for the process:
- A recommendation letter from the Head of the Institution
- The student’s registration certificate and mark sheet from the Secondary Examination

This new regulation has been in effect since the 23rd of May, 2025, and will remain in force until a further notification is issued.
