**Securing 33% Marks in All Subjects is Mandatory to Pass**
To pass the CBSE Board examinations, it is mandatory to secure a total of 33% marks in all subjects. These marks must be obtained separately in the practical and theory components. However, if a student fails in one or two subjects in the Board examination, they can appear for the Compartment Examination to pass the exam within the same academic year, thereby saving their year. Applications for the Compartment Examination will be accepted after the results are declared. The examinations are scheduled to be conducted in June.
