Sir, I want to give 10th Board exam. But now I am in 8th standard and my age is 17 years. I am studying under CBSE Board. So, is there any way to give 10th Board exam just after my 8th as my age going too much and I want to do Engineering in future. So, I want to escape 9th. Kindly help me.

You cannot escape class 9 studies as because you have to go through registration process and it is compulsory.
Age does not matter and you are also eligible at the age of 19 years. No restriction regarding age criteria.
At the age of 19 you are also eligible to go for Engineering.

No, you are not eligible to appear in 10th standard Board examination after completion of your 8th standard being a 17 years old candidate. To be eligible to appear in 10th standard board examinations, you should have passed 9th standard and you should have pursued 10th standard from a recognised board. Since, you are pursuing 8th standard at the age of 17 years, you will be 19 years old while completing your 10th standard, so, there will not be any problem for you to appear in 10th standard board examinations.

Being a 17 years old candidate you are certainly eligible for appearing in CBSE Class 10th board examination as there is no maximum age limit for appearing in CBSE Class 10th board examination.

Further, as far as you are concerned about appearing in CBSE Class 10th board examination without pursuing Class 9th then it is not possible as registration for appearing in CBSE Class 10th board examination is done while the candidate is pursuing his/her Class 9th.

For more details regarding curriculum and academics followed by CBSE you can refer to the link www.cbse.nic.in.

There is no upper age limit to appear for 10th board examination conducted by CBSE.

So, if you are in 8th std now you will have to first pursue in 9th std and then only you will become eligible to appear for 10th board examination.

There is no possible option to appear for 10th without 9th std in CBSE.

No, you can't appear in 10th standard board examinations directly after completion of your 8th standard. To be eligible to appear in 10th standard board examinations, you should have passed 9th standard and also you should have pursued 10th standard. So, being a 17 years old 8th standard student, you are eligible to pursue and apply for 10th standard board examinations at the age of 19 years.

No, you can not appear for 10th without completing 9th so, I suggest you complete your 9th and 10th both then you will be eligible for Board and future examination.

My sister is 16 years old and she will give 10th board examination at the age of 17. Is there any problem regarding age? I want to ask may the school refuse to appear her in the examination?
