If a student fails in one or two subjects, then they will have the option of appearing in the compartmental examination.
However, if a student fails more than two subjects, then they will have to reappear in the next year’s examination.
Candidates would have to acquire at least 33 per cent marks to pass the CBSE Class 12 exams. They should also achieve the minimum qualifying marks in theory and practice for each subject separately. Both these criteria must be fulfilled to pass the exam.
This year the CBSE has implemented the On-Screen Marking system to digitally evaluate the answer sheets of class 12 board students.

Officials have said this verification stage is the final step before the result compilation is completed. Once the process is over, the board will proceed with publishing the results.
