CHSE Odisha Introduces Improvement Exams for Plus 2 Students from 2026

The Council of Higher Secondary Education Odisha (CHSE) has introduced an improvement examination system for Plus 2 students starting from the academic session 2026. Through this system, students who have already passed the exam will be allowed to reappear for a single subject which will help them in getting higher marks and better chances of getting admission to various competitive higher education courses.

The CHSE examination committee, through this decision, intends to help the students who, after admission into various universities and professional courses, fail to meet the cutoff.

As per the new plan, only the students who have passed the Annual Higher Secondary Examination (AHSE) will be eligible for the improvement test. The students can choose one subject in which they want to reappear for the exam.

The officials informed that the window for the application will be open within 15 days after the declaration of Plus 2 results, and the improvement examination shall be conducted within one month after the declaration of results. The result of the improvement test is expected to come out within 60 days of the examination.

Besides the existing instant examination system which is done for the students who fail in one or more subjects and wish to clear them without waiting a whole academic year, the improvement exam system will be operated.

The AHSE 2026 examinations in Odisha are to finish on March 21. The results are expected towards the end of May.

Every year, more than five lakh students take the Plus 2 examination in the state, making it one of the biggest school-level examinations in the region. According to education officials, the change is a result of student and teacher protests for allowing students to improve their grades without losing a whole year.

Students have been advised to monitor the official CHSE website for application forms, detailed guidelines and examination schedules once the Plus 2 results are announced.
