​Passing Criteria & Grading System

​Most state boards have moved away from "automatic promotion" to ensure learning quality. Here are the general rules for 2026:

  • Minimum Marks: Students must secure at least 33% in each subject and in aggregate to be declared "Pass."
  • Grading: Results are often displayed in grades (A+, A, B, C, D). An 'E' grade usually signifies a need for a supplementary exam.
  • Supplementary Exams: If a student fails in one or two subjects, they can appear for "Compartment" or "Supplementary" exams, usually held in May 2026.

​Important Details on Your Marksheet

​Once you download the provisional marksheet, double-check the following information for accuracy:

  • ​Student’s Name and Father’s Name
  • ​Roll Number and Enrollment Number
  • ​School Name and District
  • ​Subject-wise Marks/Grades
  • ​Qualifying Status (Pass/Fail)
  • Note: The online result is provisional. You must collect your original, hard-copy marksheet from your respective school a few weeks after the online declaration.


    ​What if the Website is Not Opening?

    ​Due to heavy traffic, official websites may crash or slow down. If this happens, stay patient and try again after 15–20 minutes. You can also check your results via:

    • DigiLocker: Sign in to your account to fetch your digital certificates.
    • SMS: Some boards offer results via text message (check your board's specific SMS code).
