The minimum age required for writing 10th standard examination will be 15 years. So if one crossed the age when appearing for 10th examination then he/she is eligible to write the examinations. This is the basic eligibility for appearing 10th board examinations. Actually CBSE has not prescribed age of admission for Class 1. Parents may follow the minimum age prescribed by the concerned State Government.

The student seeking admission to 10th class Board examination has to
satisfy the requirement of age limits (minimum and maximum) as determined by the State/UT government and applicable to the
place where the school is located.

Minimum age:- 14 year

Maximum age:-16 year.

The student age required for 10th standard is minimum 14 years and maximum 16 years as per Government Educational Board.
