CBSE Class 12 Result 2026: Passing Marks, Re-evaluation, and Compartment Exam Guidelines The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has outlined key rules for the Class 12 board exams for the 2026 academic year, including passing criteria, re-evaluation procedures, and guidelines for students requiring a second attempt through compartment exams. The board has emphasized that students must secure a minimum of 33 percent marks in each subject to pass, encompassing theory, practicals, and internal assessments. For subjects with practical components, students must pass both the theoretical and practical sections separately. The CBSE has also clarified that students who fail to meet the 33 percent threshold in one or more subjects will be placed in the "Compartment" category and will be eligible to appear for the supplementary examination in 2026. The supplementary exam, previously held on July 15 in 2025, will follow the CBSE Class 12 syllabus as prescribed on the board’s official website. Regular students in the Compartment category must apply through their respective schools, with school authorities submitting the list of candidates. Private candidates, on the other hand, can apply for the supplementary exams online. The board has introduced a streamlined process for re-evaluation and marks verification. Students who wish to challenge their results can opt for either verification of marks or re-evaluation of their answer sheets. A new system allows candidates to access scanned copies of their answer books for the desired subject, enabling them to identify potential errors and report them to the board. This initiative aims to ensure transparency and accuracy in the evaluation process.#central_board_of_secondary_education #cbse #compartment_exam #re_evaluation #supplementary_exam
