6. Passing Marks & Eligibility Criteria
This is one of the most important sections — understanding the passing criteria helps you assess your result before it is officially declared.
Minimum Passing Marks for Class 10
- Theory Papers (80 marks): You must score at least 26 marks (33% of 80)
- Internal Assessment (20 marks): You must score at least 7 marks (33% of 20)
- Practical Exams (40 marks, where applicable): At least 13 marks required
- Overall Aggregate: Minimum 33% across all subjects combined
Key Rule: Even if your overall percentage is above 33%, failing in even one subject will result in a compartment status for that subject.
Minimum Passing Marks for Class 12
- Each Subject: Minimum 33% marks required individually
- Overall Aggregate: Minimum 33% marks in aggregate
- Students must pass all compulsory subjects to be declared fully pass
Who Is Eligible to Appear?
Students who appeared in the HPBOSE board exams held from March to April 2026, were enrolled in a recognized school affiliated with HPBOSE, and submitted their admit card are eligible to check their results.
7. What If You Get a Compartment?
Getting a compartment is not the end of the road — it is a second chance. Here is everything you need to know:
Eligibility for Compartment Exam
- Class 10: You can appear in the compartment exam if you failed in 1 or 2 subjects. Failing in more than 2 subjects means you must repeat the full year.
- Class 12: Same rule applies — eligible for compartment if you failed in 1 or 2 subjects.
Compartment Exam Schedule (Tentative 2026)
| Event | Tentative Date |
|---|---|
| Compartment Exam | July 2026 |
| Compartment Result | August 2026 |
Passing Criteria for Compartment Exam
The minimum passing marks remain the same — 33% in each subject and 33% in aggregate. If you fail the compartment exam as well, you must reappear in the full board examination the following academic year.
How to Register for Compartment Exam
- Registration is done through your school
- Fill out the prescribed application form available on hpbose.org
- Pay the required examination fee
- Submit documents through your school authority
8. Revaluation & Re-checking Process
Not happy with your marks? HPBOSE gives you the right to challenge your result through two options:
Option 1 — Re-checking (Totalling Verification)
The board physically checks whether all answers were marked, totalled correctly, and no page was missed.
- Fee: ₹500 per subject
- Eligibility: You must have scored at least 20% marks in that subject
- When: Applications open in May–June 2026
- Result: Typically announced in July 2026
Option 2 — Revaluation (Full Re-assessment)
A senior examiner re-evaluates your entire answer sheet from scratch.
- Fee: ₹1,000 per subject
- Eligibility: Same — minimum 20% marks in that subject
- When: Apply through hpbose.org in May–June 2026
Important: You cannot apply for revaluation if you scored below 20% in a subject. In that case, the compartment exam is your only route forward.
9. After the Result — What You Should Do Next
If You Passed
- Collect your original marksheet from your school — the online scorecard is provisional
- Keep your passing certificate and migration certificate safely — you’ll need them for college admissions
- Class 10 passers: Start researching stream selection (Science, Commerce, Arts) based on your marks and interests
- Class 12 passers: Begin applying for university admissions, entrance exams (JEE, NEET, CUET, etc.), or professional courses
- Apply for migration certificate from HPBOSE if joining a university or board outside Himachal Pradesh
If You Got a Compartment
