As per the CBSE curriculum, students must be at least 14 years old to take the Class 10 exam. The maximum age limit for appearing in the Class 10 exam can be 16 years, as students are allowed a maximum of three attempts.

Hello Bishal

According to guidelines of CBSE, minimum age to appear for class x must be 14 years. There is no upper limit to appear for class x cbse board.

A candidate can appear for maximum three attempts.

Some candidates give private exams or sometimes students fail in standard ix then they privately appear for class x then their age must be more than 14 years. Sometimes  students appear for x class after one year gap of passing class ix then also their age would be 15 or 16 as there is no upper limit age.

However , there is no upper limit of age to appear in the exam. But there is maximum number of attempts to appear in the examination.
