Students who fail in one subject in CBSE Class 12 (2025) can appear for a compartment exam, usually held in July or August.
However, students who fail in two or more subjects are not eligible for compartment exams and must reappear for all subjects in the next board exam cycle.
Check with your school and CBSE's official guidelines for further details.
Hello,
As of March 2025, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has outlined the following provisions for Class 12 science stream students who have failed in two subjects:
-
Compartment Exam Eligibility :
- Students failing in one subject are eligible to appear for the compartment exam in July of the same year.
- Those failing in two subjects are not eligible for compartment exams and must reappear in all subjects in the next annual examination.
-
Re-examination Schedule :
- The first compartment exam is conducted in July of the same year.
- A second chance is available in March/April of the following year, and a third in July of the next year.
-
Application Process :
- Regular students must apply through their respective schools.
- Private candidates can apply online via the CBSE website.
-
Fees :
- The examination fee is Rs. 300 per subject within India.
- Late applications incur an additional fee of Rs. 2,000.
-
Practical Examinations :
- If a student has passed the practical component but failed the theory, they need to reappear only for the theory exam.
- If failed in practicals, both theory and practical exams must be retaken.
Therefore, a Class 12 science student failing in two subjects in 2025 must reappear for all subjects in the subsequent annual examination, as per CBSE guidelines.
