At 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already dismantled international bowling attacks. Now, the teenage opener from Bihar is preparing for a different test altogether: the CBSE Class 10 Board Examinations, beginning February 17, 2026.
After lighting up the Under-19 World Cup with a staggering 175 in the final against England- finishing the tournament with 439 runs at an average of 62 and a strike rate close to 170- Suryavanshi has returned home to Samastipur with textbooks in hand.
Which school does Vaibhav Suryavanshi attend?
Suryavanshi is a student of Dr. Mukteshwar Sinha Modesty School in Tajpur, Bihar. He has completed all required formalities and has already received his CBSE admit card.
Reports also indicate coordination with Poddar International School authorities in the district regarding
examination logistics, but school officials have clarified that there will be no special privileges. Principal Neel Kishore Sinha reportedly made it clear that once Suryavanshi enters the examination hall, he will be treated like any other candidate - identified only by his roll number.
"This is an academic pitch," the principal said, underlining that fairness and confidentiality will be maintained.
No special treatment despite global fame
Despite his growing stature, including his association with Rajasthan Royals in the IPL ecosystem, there will be no VIP rooms or altered evaluation standards. The young batter will sit for exams under standard CBSE regulations, like lakhs of other students across India.
His father, Sanjeev Suryavanshi, has repeatedly stressed the importance of education alongside cricket, insisting that academic grounding remains non-negotiable despite international recognition.
How is he managing cricket and studies?
The timing is unusual. His board exams (February 17 to March 11) overlap with the senior Men's T20 World Cup calendar, meaning he may have to limit cricket viewing even as his own name trends across timelines.
Once exams conclude, however, cricket resumes quickly. The IPL season follows shortly after, and Suryavanshi is expected to rejoin Rajasthan Royals as he continues his development.
More than just a prodigy
Suryavanshi's education story is quietly significant. Coming from Tajpur in Bihar, a state not traditionally associated with India's elite cricket pathways, he represents both sporting breakthrough and academic continuity.
For now, the bat is temporarily swapped for a pen. But whether it's facing 140 kmph pace or a three-hour mathematics paper, the method appears unchanged: discipline, focus, and no shortcuts.
