The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has started a month-long, in-person academic support programme for Class 10 and Class 12 students studying in government schools across Ladakh. The initiative is aimed at strengthening students’ subject understanding and helping them prepare more effectively for the upcoming CBSE Board Examinations 2027.
The programme began on September 14, 2026, and is scheduled to continue until October 14, 2026. It is being conducted in collaboration with the Government of the Union Territory of Ladakh across 10 locations.
Why Has CBSE Started the Ladakh Academic Support Programme?
Students studying in Ladakh face the challenges associated with the region’s large geographical spread and high-altitude locations. CBSE’s latest initiative is intended to provide additional classroom-based academic guidance to government-school students preparing for their board examinations.
The programme focuses not only on completing academic preparation but also on helping students understand assessment strategies, examination techniques, time management and effective approaches to answering board-examination questions.
According to reports, the initiative is designed to strengthen conceptual understanding, examination preparedness and students’ confidence before the board examinations.

Which Subjects Will Be Covered?
The academic support programme has a subject-specific focus for Classes 10 and 12.
For Class 10 Students
Class 10 students will receive support mainly in:
- Mathematics
- Science
The sessions are intended to strengthen students’ understanding of important concepts while also helping them develop better examination strategies.
For Class 12 Students
For Class 12, the programme provides support in:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- Economics
These subjects are particularly important for students preparing for their senior secondary board examinations.
More Than 250 Teachers and Resource Persons Involved
A major feature of the initiative is the involvement of experienced educators.
According to reports citing CBSE, more than 250 experienced teachers and resource persons from CBSE-affiliated schools across the country have been nominated to conduct the sessions and provide academic guidance to students.
This gives participating students access to additional academic support beyond their regular classroom learning.
Focus Goes Beyond Completing the Syllabus
The programme is not limited to subject teaching. CBSE has said that the sessions will also focus on the skills students need to approach board examinations effectively.
Key areas include:
- Subject-wise academic preparation
- Assessment strategies
- Examination techniques
- Time management
- Approaches to answering questions
- Conceptual understanding
- Overall examination preparedness
This approach can help students understand how to apply their knowledge during board examinations rather than focusing only on textbook completion.
What Does This Mean for Ladakh Students?
For Class 10 and 12 students in government schools, the programme provides an additional opportunity to clarify difficult concepts and receive focused guidance before the board examinations.
The initiative is also significant because the sessions are being conducted across multiple locations, including high-altitude and geographically dispersed parts of Ladakh. This allows the academic support to be delivered closer to participating students rather than requiring everyone to travel to a single centre.
CBSE says the programme aims to strengthen students’ subject understanding, confidence and examination preparedness.

Although board examinations are still some time away, Class 10 and 12 students can benefit from beginning structured preparation early.
Students can use this period to:
- Identify difficult chapters and concepts.
- Strengthen their understanding of core subjects.
- Practise solving questions within a set time.
- Learn how to manage examination time effectively.
- Review previous questions and sample papers.
- Ask teachers to clarify topics they find difficult.

Regular preparation can make it easier to manage the syllabus as examinations approach.
